A Woman's Way

Στρέλλα

Forty-eight-year-old Yorgos is released from prison, after a 15-year sentence for a murder he committed in his native village. He spends his first night of freedom at a cheap hotel in the center of Athens, where he meets a transsexual prostitute named Strella. They sleep together and soon they fall in love. But Yorgos’s past catches up with him, and he ends up in a different “prison.” Along with Strella, he will have to find a way out.
