DIGGER, directed by Georgis Grigorakis

Georgis Grigorakis presents his first feature film « DIGGER » (project La Résidence 2015), CICE art cinema award (Panorama section) at the 2020 Berlinale.

A contemporary Western about a native farmer who lives and works alone in a farmhouse in the heart of a mountain forest in Northern Greece. For years now, he fights with an expanding industrial Monster digging up the forest, disturbing the lush flora and threatening his property. Yet, the greatest threat comes with the sudden arrival of his young son, after a twenty-year separation. They turn into enemies under one roof and confront each other head on, with nature as their only observer. To prevent the muddy ground from being pulled out from under their feet for profit, father and son must dig deep into it.

In theatres on July 21. With Vangelis Mourikis, Argyris Pandazaras and Sofia Kokkali.
