Broken Vein | Yannis Economides

Thomas Alexopoulos, a middle-aged businessman, owes money to the local loan shark and desperately seeks help. He’s running out of time to save his precious home, and he feels suffocated from the pressure of the situation. On the brink of disaster, a simple last-minute plan seems to be the only salvation to his problem.

"Broken Vein" is a pure and solid urban drama with tragic characters, set in a gray universe that looks like a minefield. Sprung forth from the loins of the immense tradition of ancient Greek tragedies, the film bridges the past with the present to revisit concepts such as Ethos, Hubris, Destiny, Shame, Immodesty, Voluntary and Involuntary Crime. At the heart of it all lies an unchanging truth—the lonely, tragic nature of man, a poignant reminder of our shared fate at the end of life's frenetic journey. The film stars Vasilis Bisbikis, Maria Kechagioglou, Betty Arvaniti, and Yiannis Niarros, while the script is co-written by Yannis Economides and actor Vangelis Mourikis. The film, a co-production of Onassis Culture, will premiere at the Onassis Stegi shortly before its official release in Greek theaters.
