While shooting a documentary about “missing” civill servants a filmmaking duo stumble upon Charoula, a desperate, overprotective Greek mother searching for her missing civil servant son. But when his name is linked to government fraud with a foreign female accomplice, Charoula sets out her other, disabled son, Lefteris to clear his name. With the help of a Greek African taxi driver and a less than helpful antifa group of misfits, the documentary duo follow Charoula on her quest to find and bring him back home where he belongs, even if it means discovering who her son really is.
IMDB - 18 wins
Clever plot, excellent actors (especially Eleni Kokkidou, she conveyed the feelings of the protagonist in such a figurative way), the directing was unique and the whole idea of the non stop camera recording was captivating. The ending was touching and unpredictable. In my opinion, some details were a bit unnecessary making the middle part of the movie a little tiring. Unfortunately, the jokes didn't touch us that much even though they were clever but not that well given I guess. In general this is a must see Greek movie that shows the "Greek reality" in real time while it projects the stereotypes that Greek society still holds.
