You lose control.
Something inside pushes you. It doesn't ask.
There's no time to say no. It won't let you.
It all happens so fast and yet slow.
Like crashing on a bike. You're flying thru the air.
You can see it all.
Everyone is staring back at you. But you can't put the brakes on.
It's a moment that lasts forever.
Till you fall.
Say nothing or I'll kill you.
You have no right to search my home.
Christo? What's going on?
My brother is only fifteen.
He's got nothing to do with this.
It's just the chief and me.
When you need money, you go out and get some?
Bankers - terrorists
Banks don't lend no more?
The banks sucked me dry for years. And now they turn their backs...
Capitalists don't give a damn... For people or the country...
We've said this for years...
Whatever you can spare. It's hard.
Old comrades come thru in the end. Right?
Don't forget me.
They're screwing me alive and you act like nothing's happening.
They're taking my house! I'm losing everything! Get it?
Don't touch me.
It's not my fault.
No-one's to blame. Isn't that what everyone says?
I'm in a difficult place...
Push him on the price...
What does the cunt want? I won't sell at that price!
Off to work?
Are you serious?
Nothing less than 350,000!
Those who do not arm themselves... perish.
God created Man. Colt made them equal.
Fellow pupils... our direct action has mobilized parents and teachers!
Our school occupation stands firm!
Today...
Hey guys!
We have shown everyone and proven to ourselves...
Cops! Come on!
Let's go!
Christos Niarchos...
Upper Secondary school pupil...
Ioanna Argyriou... you know her?
Don't be scared.
I don't know her. Never touched her.
Did they rape you?
It was crazy that night. You disappeared.
I made it home. By the back streets.
Your friend?
Christos?
- They arrest him? - No. He's okay.
That's cool.
Been together long?
We're friends.
- Going home now? - After school class.
English?
You rape her?
Who said that?
The Albanian. He confessed. About your boyfriend, Alexandros.
Illegal drugs, member of a criminal gang...
You know the word for man in Albanian?
Bullshit.
Excuse me, I have my two children...
But I need a lawyer, now.
- Excuse me, the interrogation unit? - I don't know.
- We have our two sons... - I said, I don't know.
Ask someone in charge.
They're fascists! They're not saying anything.
When are you back, Petro?
What am I to do till tomorrow night?
Your mother works for the goverment.
Your father committed suicide.
He hung himself...
The ring you took from me...?
He gave it to me.
24 carats.
I wore it all the time. At school even.
They all went nuts.
His bikerjob couldn't pay for that stuff.
But he tried to hide it from me. As if he was embarrassed to say...
I sell drugs... I do criminal stuff... I have a gun...
How old is your son?
Sixteen. This December.
The only thing men want is that right there...
Mum, you still here?
Since when...?
Condoms break. I do pills. I don't want to mess up, like you.
Gas station attendant terror.
Social anthropology.
Come again?
We learn how things in some societies are not acceptable...
but in others it's okay.
I've researched for months. I'm going to get top grades.
I'm proud of you, baby.
Leave me.
I'm late.
New client. Makeup. Massage. The works...
Good money. She's German. Married to a corporate executive.
Thank God this job came up.
...what could he have done...?
Christo is a good kid...
He helps the homeless downtown...
- Ioanna! - Calm down, lady.
It's my daughter! Let me speak to her.
Be quiet this is a police station.
How long will you keep setting the table for three?
I can't help it.
It's okay. I'm just worried about you.
You think of him?
Yes.
I’ve not dreamt of him once. All these months...
You're lucky.
Petros phoned me.
The Law Society is organising a gathering in his honour.
Will you come?
They're all crooks. So was my father.
He wasn't to blame. It was the others.
They were all corrupt.
The old man just cracked first when it all came out.
- It took guts to do what he did. - He was a coward.
- He loved you. - He never knew me.
You're a bit of a politico...
Maybe you've confused things in your head...
Anyone who picks up a gun is a hero?
Cops pigs murderers!
Come on you fuck!
Are we responsible for our actions?
You understand what you've done?
Have you no conscience?
Thief...
He wants to be with me. That's all I care about.
In love.
You jealous?
He stole your heart.
This song is for comrade Sakis who was sentenced yesterday.
Losers.
Get over it.
The petrol bomb exploded in his hands and they busted him.
- He got three years. - He should've been more careful.
Alexandros likes you a lot.
Me?
He saw you at the school occupation.
I could ask him, if you want.
Make the night last forever.
Don't leave me.
Never.
And all the presents he gave you?
When I got bored, I gave them away.
They're ok for a while.
They sparkle and shine. Everyone turns and looks.
But in their eyes you see they hate you...
cause you've got something they don't.
Only people matter. People close to you.
Otherwise life's no good. You get junked like you were a piece of...
You need your own people. To feel good. That you're worth it.
What about other people?
Like who?
Strangers. People you don't know.
Alexandros gave me a bracelet. He said he loved me.
It was from the hold up.
The owner of the shop had a heart attack. And now they're blaming the guys.
At first I pretended I didn't know. But l finally told him I knew.
He looked at me all calm. I asked him to let me into the gang.
You asked about me?
I said you're more into political stuff, but he doesn't care.
- I'll never let him down. - We'll be together.
They laugh at me. The rich kid whose hot shot lawyer father...
Forget those creeps.
Alexandros wants to try us out next week.
Ermir has to give the okay. Aris' brother. A real jerk.
Ermir didn't want her in. No way.
Ioanna is hard. She's got a thing about foreigners.
Why she hang out with you?
I was born here. l told you. We went to school together.
- You brought this city to its knees. - Who?
You Albanians. Africans. Asians.
Me, I'm Greek.
Cops - your children will kill you
They want us to leave.
Go back home.
There's no future here.
We're building a large house.
Salut!
Thank you for coming!
4.350 euros.
He'd look you in the eyes and know...
He'd buy you cigarettes without you even asking.
He'd download the film you wanted to watch.
He'd text you when you felt like blowing your brains out...
He'd look into your heart and knew if you were okay or messed up.
He chose me. He looked inside me and chose me.
- How many guns were there? - The Colt and the...
Ask Ermir. He handled that.
If a cop touches you... I’ll kill him...
To Arms etc!
She's crazy. She lies.
Whatever comes into her head.
She wasn't even there.
Where?
May 4th 03:00 am. Where were you?
Don't remember.
Put it out.
The smoke gets to him.
What do you expect from a pussy.
- Aris, you know what you're doing? - Sure.
If we're not down in fifteen, you buzz us.
- Who broke into the house? - The three of us.
It all went stupid that night. It was all for nothing.
What the hell?
The Colt went off.
I dropped it.
Cops. Cops.
They've got Ari.
Watch out! He's going to kill you!
Somewhere in the world there's someone just like you.
I found him there that night.
He follows me everywhere. He wants me dead.
Let me out!
I wanted to send him to college. Can't afford it now.
Hard times for everyone.
Our kids are paying the price.
Your only son?
Get up. Come on get up.
Come on get up.
Fotis, get up.
What have you done to him?
Leave us!
Fotis, get up please... you hear me...?
My brother was born with a cerebral disorder.
They rarely live beyond ten.
Maybe, it's of some interest.
For the interrogation.
After that he disappeared.
The girlfriend was all cut up.
The weirdo kept her company.
They were waiting for him to return.
Aris never left my sight.
Everything went crazy. We shut down operations.
You know where Alexandros is? Have you talked to him?
He doesn't answer my calls. You know where he is?
Has he called you? Give me your cell I want to phone...
Let's go.
Just go.
Restless.
Where did he disappear to?
Hey, what's up?
On my way.
KILL COPS!
I'LL NEVER WORK
You did nothing wrong.
Cops kill all the time...
They let scumbags who think they're heroes...
knife immigrants to death in some alley at night.
They're all the same. Blood brothers.
And me?
What am I to do?
We have to change.
No more games....
The serious players don't live where we've been looking.
They're totally somewhere else.
Behind high walls. In houses with cameras and pools.
That's where the money is. You get it?
She wants you. She needs you.
Every night she waits at the hideout in case you turn up.
The Kalashnikov?
I gave it to Ermir to hide.
We'll need it.
I was waiting for you. Why didn't you answer the phone?
- They might trace the calls. - So you called Christo?
He was with me that night.
You swore you'd never leave me.
This is not for you.
Cause I’m a woman?
You think you can just use me? Then throw me away?
Months ago you asked me to let you into the gang.
You said you knew the kind of work Alexandros did.
I said you wanted in. That you were cool.
But you're just a loser.
It's your fault. You made him kill.
Did he say that?
If I was there, I’d have stopped your anarchist bullshit.
- The cop had Aris and Ermir. - So what? You could have left.
- We're all in this together. - So why didn't you kill the cop?
SMASH FASCISM
Your little girl, she good at school?
Yes, top of her class.
- Galatsiou High. - Our youngest goes there.
Ioanna doesn't make friends easily.
- Where's your husband? - I live alone with my daughter.
We separated before she was born.
He went back home to Russia. It's the last l heard of him.
I waited for your call.
You know what time it is?
They haven't said anything.
Gang stuff. Right?
You know her?
I don't know.
Why don't you ask Ioanna?
She found out from her mum where the rich people lived.
No.
My mother comes up here three times a week.
She dolls up her lady customer. Makes her all pretty.
We live because of a German whore.
I don't want to remember you like this.
We do this?
Tomorrow night.
Something happened to her. To all of us.
You know... violence is beautiful.
Christo! Over here!
- Where's the safe? - I don't have money in the house.
Liar! We know you do.
Do something... Jurgen, give them what they want.
What did you say? Don't you speak Greek?
I can give you money at the bank.
Shut up, you fuck.
There's a lot of good stuff here.
Take it easy now.
Calm down.
They were loaded.
First time in my life I understood what real money was.
I didn't say anything to Ermir.
I didn't want to frighten the kids.
We weren't there to do bad stuff.
What do you expect from a retard? All she saw was the big house.
She didn't even notice they had kids. My mother is so fucked up.
The anarcho was to blame. He made me sick.
He was playing Che Guevara that night.
Who do you love the most? The younger or the older one?
No, please! No!
Leave the kids alone! Why did you bring them down?
- You stupid fuck. - Don't touch me. Let me go.
Stop it. Come on leave it. Give me the kids.
Come here you. Let's go.
Oliver... Take care of your brother.
Come with me. Leave mummy.
- Everything will be fine. - Shut up you.
I didn't bring them downstairs!
Ermir did to force the father tell us where the money was.
- Where's the money? - I don't have any.
- What are you doing with the kids? - Not the children!
Leave the kids alone, you!
Keep going. We're not stopping now.
Why did you bring them down here? Come with me.
Nina don't say anything. They're crazy Albanians.
Jurgen, give them what they want. Get them out of here!
What did you say, you fuck?
If he'd given the money sooner nothing would've happened.
But he kept lying...
And it spun out of control.
Shut up!
Please... Let me go...
Shut it!
He's lost it.
Animals! Pigs!
Let her go!
Get off her!
Alexandros, are you crazy? Let's get out of here. Let me go!
I tried to stop him.
I looked at him. But it was someone else.
He hit me.
You lose it.
Something inside pushes you. It doesn't ask.
No time to say no. It won't let you.
It all happens so fast and yet slow.
Like crashing on a bike. You're flying thru the air.
You see it all.
Everyone is staring at you. But you can't put the brakes on.
It's a moment that lasts forever.
Till you fall.
Thugs! Animals! Pigs!
Hold him down!
Leave her alone you fuck.
Let's get out of here.
Don't touch my children!
Oliver! Tobias! Get away from her...
What did you say to them?
You frightened them.
Get away from my children.
You hear me?
Why are you shouting at me?
Do I shout at you?
You German bitch.
You shouting at me? In my own country?
I'll kill you!
Alexandros!
I'll kill you! You little punk!
I'll kill you...
Do something.
Do something you fuck! She tried to kill me!
Where are you going?
You're gone.
Thank you. I was so thirsty.
You wiped out a whole family.
