Torpor

In the streets of fear, residents are searching for their local “heroes.” Bodies become docile, desires are suppressed and Alexandros remains a child of his age, against the imperatives of the era, of society and – above all – against the will of his father. Alexandros will need to abandon his teenage self once and forever and choose sides in an undeclared war, in a present shaped by others for him.

Directed by Dimitris Tsalapatis, Torpor leans on a strong ensemble — Konstantinos Georgopoulos, Simos Kakalas, Harrys Tzortzakis — 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 2018.
