Boy Prostitutes

At a small village, somewhere in Greece, a 10-year old boy gets raped by a powerful man. The boy's mother (who suffers from cancer) tries to prove who is the guilty one. In the meanwhile, the movie goes on showing how teenagers become male prostitutes. It depicts Athens in a very decadent way. A reporter starts working on an article about this case and gets beaten by a bunch of gay bikers! Teenage boys get laid with wealthy middle-aged men who pay well for these 'services'. One of these boys strangles his wealthy client and he is immediately arrested.

Directed by Omiros Efstratiadis, Boy Prostitutes leans on a strong ensemble — Michalis Maniatis, Anna Matzourani, Franco Alfonso — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1985.
