Broken Vein | Yannis Economides

Thomas Alexopoulos, a middle-aged businessman, owes money to loan sharks 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 heroes and fatal characters, set in a gray universe that looks like a minefield. Sprung forth from the loins of an immense tradition of ancient Greek tragedies, the film brings the past to the present to revisit concepts such as Ethos, Hubris, Destiny, Shame, Immodesty, Voluntary and Involuntary Crime. What remains at the end of life’s frantic journey is nothing but the lonely, tragic nature of man. 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.
