Synopsis

An arm wrestler who lives in a remote Greek village, tired of the small community mentality, decides to return to Athens. In this journey of adulthood, he will face in a “bras de fer fight” the most difficult opponent, himself.

A poetic character-study of the director’s brother Panos, a 30-year-old cafe-owner, aspiring actor and occasional clown/magician for whom arm-wrestling is essentially a time-consuming side line.
