The heroes of Babid Makridis - once a nameless driver (L) who lives in the car, now also a deprived lawyer - are middle-aged men. It is hard to find a better moment for a nervous breakdown. Serene Yannis Drakopoulos, who received the films of Aki Kaurismäki and Buster Keaton from the director before making the Mercy, does not part with the mourner's face, playing the father's promising pianist and the woman's husband in a coma. One day, however, the wife wakes up and everything goes head-on. Frosted muffins from the caring neighbor stop to come, no one sends a full pity of glances, and the real tragedy turns out to be lack of reasons to worry. Makridis and screenwriter Efthymis Filippou portray a man whose compassion works like a drug. Worse, his need for eternal discontent does not harmonize with his surroundings. From the window of the apartment there is a view of the silver beach, the azure sky and a lonely palm tree in the middle. A perverse black comedy presented at the Sundance festival and Rotterdam.
