The King (2002)

None | Greece | Greek | 130 min
Directed by: Nikos Grammatikos
8.1

Like a fish out of water, Vagelis--a former drug addict in his mid-thirties who yearns for deliverance and a drastic change in his life--finds himself stranded in faceless and cruel Athens, after five long years of incarceration. Nearly brought to his knees, Vagelis' only way out lies in his grandfather's dilapidated rural estate somewhere in a God-forsaken Peloponnesian village; however, fresh starts are always painful, especially when you are a stranger in a strange land. But, once a pariah, always a pariah, and Vagelis will soon have to come face-to-face with the unwritten laws of the close-knit community, as a simmering tension threatens to boil over. Now, all that's needed is a flaming catalyst, and then, nothing can stop the advent of hell on New Paradise. In the end, just how easily can a king lose his kingdom?
