Overview

Man (Gianis Aggelakas), a mysterious man of the underworld, small time grifter and big time hard-man, who has an anarchic tendency to mumble and comment on the system, society, police, the underworld itself and other things, along with his beloved bird, Bellafonte, meets up with an odd posse consisting of kid, who is a young songwriter, a prostitute who gathers money in order to open a bookstore, an alcoholic girl haunted by the relationship with her dead mother, and the grudgey bar-woman-ex-girlfriend. The five of them get caught up in a scheme involving the media, the mob, politicians and the police. And they definitely want to get the hell out of the city, probably to some Caribbean paradise.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A scrappy ensemble of misfits and dreamers bands together to escape a corrupted city, held together by the gruff wisdom of a rambling drifter and his bird. It's a darkly comic adventure where the real prize isn't money, it's getting out.
