Argyris Papadimitropoulos

Athens and the Greek islands, in the years of the debt crisis and after. Wasted Youth crosses a sixteen-year-old skating aimlessly around Athens with a frustrated middle-aged cop. In Suntan, a lonely doctor posted to a tiny island sits out a dreary winter until the summer crowds arrive. Monday follows two Americans in their thirties in Athens after a whirlwind weekend.

Signature

• Middle-aged men beside the young and carefree (Suntan, Wasted Youth).
• Greek summers, parties and tourists.
• Loose, handheld realism.
• Money trouble played as black comedy (Bank Bang).
