In the Shadow of Fear

Στη σκιά του φόβου

A musician is wrongly accused of counterfeiting, triggering a deep sense of guilt stemming from the barrenness of his life. On the run, he tries to find a new identity and redefine himself in an unfamiliar country. An existential drama in the form of a dreamlike thriller, which stands out for its dark atmosphere, ominous music and photography, and Υorgos Konstas’s performance.
