HOLY BOOM
15+
In an immigrant district of Athens, lives change dramatically when the neighborhood’s post-box is blown up just for laughs by Filipino teenager Ige, on Palm Sunday. Documents of vital importance have been destroyed and the consequences are relentless. Lena and Manou are pursued by the drug dealer who wants his money back; Adia, an illegal immigrant, is now alone with her newborn child, prevented even from identifying the corpse of her husband, who has died in a car accident; Ige tries in vain to be accepted by the community, while Thalia, who is watching everyone in the neighborhood, has lost her only chance of finding happiness. In their struggle to survive, their lives intertwine.
