"UNFAIR WORLD"
(Άδικος Κόσμος)
A FILM FROM GREECE
By Director Filippos Tsitos – 2011- 118 mins
"Filippos Tsitos rides the Greek new wave with Unfair World (Adikos Kosmos), a perplexing drama (of sorts) that appears to be heavily ideological but often impenetrably so."
Screen Daily, by Fionnuala Halligan

Awards: Silver Shell for best director and best actor (Antonis Kafetzopoulos) at the 2011 San Sebastian Film Festival (September 16-24).
Synopsis: The film centers on Sotiris (Antonis Kafetzopoulos), a very unusual police interrogator who, one day, decides to forgive all those who are treated unfairly in life, going as far as risking his own career by murdering a corrupt colleague. The crime, which has only one eyewitness, Dora (Theodora Tzimou), a lonely cleaning lady, brings the two characters closer together, as they are torn between love, honesty and justice.

About the Director: Filippos Tsitos is already well known among festivals critics and audiences thanks to his previous works, My Sweet Home (2001) and Plato’s Academy (2009). The latter was screened in festivals worldwide (from Locarno to Los Angeles, from Venice to New York), and has been one of the three finalists of the 2010 LUX Prize of the European Parliament.
