About The Bald Student
Thanasis, a family breadwinner who has been working for 17 years at the Ministry of Measure and Station without any promotion, is trying to cover his expenses by doing a second job. When he learns that he can not be promoted because he does not own a high school diploma, he decides to go back to school.
Directed by Dinos Katsouridis, The Bald Student leans on a strong ensemble — Thanasis Veggos, Vasia Trifylli, Titos Vandis — 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 comedy titles of 1979.
