Synopsis

After a 13-year absence since making his debut, director Menelaos Karamaghiolis’s sophomore effort boldly unmasks a part of the Greek society that is little discussed on the international news. Having witnessed the senseless murder of his foster family, twice-orphaned Jace, an illegitimate child of an Albanian mother and a Greek father, finds himself in the hands of a group of ruthless criminals in child trafficking business, and later gets exported to Athens, Greece, his fatherland. Despite taking a brief refuge in a carnival circus, he is soon thrown into a lawless world of sex and violence, where he is drifting like a fugitive while terror and exploitations become his only destiny. A postmodern update on Homer’s epic poem “Odyssey”, this dazzling, heart wrenching thriller is certainly not just another story of an anonymous orphan who strives for an identity and a place where he feels at home.

電影簡介

時隔13年之久,再次執起導演筒的希臘導演Menelaos Karamaghiolis,將經典史詩《奧德賽》重新演繹,構成一部風格強烈,極具震撼的現代人間悲劇。Jace是一位有希臘血統的阿爾巴尼亞混血孤兒。當目睹寄養父母慘遭殺害後,隨即落入一個,以「輸出」拐賣兒童到海外乞討、買賣器官和性交易等非法勾當的黑社會集團之手。後來,僥倖逃出魔掌的Jace輾轉隻身回到了 「祖家」雅典,先後棲身於馬戲團,及從事色情秀的地下組織,見證了所謂發達社會最陰暗,最殘酷的一面。到底這個飽歷風霜,漂泊多年的現代「奧德賽」,最終能否逃離命運的擺佈,找尋屬於自己的「家人」和依歸?
