00:00You think they're toys? Of course not. If they had enough, you know.
00:10You're to blame for everything! You're to blame for everything!
00:14I'm not your toy!
00:15I'm not your toy!
00:16I can't even touch you!
00:18Don't, Kostas! Don't!
00:22Leave me! Leave me!
00:24Kostas!
00:25Leave me!
00:26Leave me!
00:27Leave me!
00:57My dear, what happened?
01:27I'm the manager of the apartment complex.
01:35The family moved about four years ago to the apartment above mine.
01:41Beyond the truth you see, beyond the truth you hear, you read, you feel,
01:53beyond the truth of the victim and the victim, there is another truth.
01:58When man goes beyond his limits, and time loses its meaning,
02:03when the moment becomes a whole life, a thin red line,
02:09and everything is united, and the end meets the beginning,
02:15this is the red circle.
02:28Have you ever heard of fights?
02:31Almost every day.
02:33I work in the morning, I come back at two thirty in the afternoon,
02:37when the children return from school.
02:40Mrs. Pefani was always waiting for them.
02:42Mr. Pefani usually returned late in the evening.
03:12Where are you?
03:24In the kitchen.
03:25Come here.
03:27In a few minutes I'll put the food in the fridge.
03:29The fridge? What the hell are you saying now?
03:36What the hell did you do?
03:38Useless!
03:39What the hell are you laughing at? Get out of here!
03:41Don't do it! Don't hurt me!
03:43Shut up!
03:44Don't do it! The child is inside!
03:46You want him to see, to learn,
03:48how you will have done to your beloved, you bastard?
03:51Don't!
03:52Your devil!
03:54Don't hurt me!
04:10What's up, guys?
04:12Good, good.
04:14Let's go, Michalis.
04:16What's up, guys?
04:18What's up? How was your day?
04:20Good.
04:21And with the spelling?
04:23I did it all wrong.
04:24Well done, boy.
04:39Good morning, Stella.
04:41Good morning, Katerina.
04:49What happened?
04:51I knocked on the kitchen's door. It's nothing. It'll pass.
04:56And then what, Stella?
04:57When he broke your hand, when he took out your shoulder, then what?
05:01I don't understand you.
05:07I listen to you, Stella.
05:09Every time the whole city listens to you.
05:11You mind your own business.
05:12What I do in the house is my own business.
05:14Mind your own business!
05:15Think of yourself!
05:16Think of your children!
05:37I have you.
05:40You have me.
05:47With an e.
05:48With an e. Very good.
05:54I have you.
05:55I have you.
05:58You're almost ready.
05:59The food must be warm.
06:01Now?
06:02In a minute.
06:03Dad, can I show you what I got for Christmas today?
06:06Stella!
06:09Stella!
06:10Bravo.
06:13Come on, let's finish this.
06:15I'll be right back.
06:17Where is she?
06:18I don't know.
06:19I eat the leaf.
06:25Get up!
06:26Eat!
06:35Stella!
06:36Come on!
06:42Stella!
07:06Stella!
07:10I'm a pedopsychologist and I work with the Ministry of Education.
07:13My job is to go into a room as a visitor and watch the children.
07:18How did you meet Michalis Bethanis?
07:21He was in one of the classes.
07:23He was quiet and was absent most of the time.
07:26When he raised his hand, it was just to go to the toilet.
07:29Something that caused a relative nostalgia among his classmates.
07:36As I learned later, it was a given that Michalis would go to the toilet at least once every hour.
07:44How do you interpret this?
07:48In my opinion, Michalis belongs to a category of children who face serious problems,
07:53which usually come from their family environment.
07:57Did you contact his parents?
08:00I tried repeatedly, but they never accepted me.
08:03Kostas.
08:06Kostas.
08:11What happened, Michalis?
08:12I didn't make it in time.
08:16Didn't he tell you not to get nervous before going to bed?
08:18He didn't tell me. I swear.
08:24What are we going to do now?
08:27Don't we want to see mom again?
08:29You won't see her. You don't care.
08:33Come on.
08:34Go to sleep.
08:37Go to sleep now.
08:51Get up, boy.
09:02Get up!
09:04Get up!
09:29Get up, boy!
09:34Get up, boy!
10:04Get up, boy!
10:05Get up, boy!
10:06Get up, boy!
10:07Get up, boy!
10:33I see.
10:34Once again, we failed, didn't we?
10:37Your ingenuity surprised me.
10:39Our friend Tantakoulias wrote in advance.
10:44Of course, ladies, again she found her own theorem.
10:51Mr. Marinakis, here,
10:53six pages of unproven mathematics that have not yet been invented.
10:58However, among the blind, we have two monotonous ones.
11:03Mrs. Basaki, congratulations,
11:07and Mr. Pefanis.
11:10Congratulations.
11:12You two will represent the school in the math competition.
11:28The next day
11:37Kostas!
11:38Let me tell you something.
11:40Do you want to come to my house tomorrow to study together?
11:44Your house?
11:47And your parents?
11:49And my parents.
11:51To study, we said, not something naughty.
11:57What?
12:02I don't believe it.
12:05What?
12:07What don't you believe?
12:11You blush.
12:18I don't blush.
12:23The way I see you, you blush.
12:27And you close your eyes.
12:35Come on, stop it.
12:46I can't tell you.
12:57I can't tell you.
13:19I have to go.
13:27I have to go.
13:48I'm going to clean up your safe.
13:51It's a small mess.
13:53We have to make some room.
13:54We have to buy a new car.
13:55We can't leave a fortune on the road.
13:58Can't we do that on Sunday?
14:01We'll go to a memorial on Sunday.
14:03And then Aunt Stavroula has invited us.
14:05Poor thing, she has her tooth pulled out.
14:07She will have cooked us fish soup.
14:10I can't do it on Saturday.
14:15It's the math competition and I have to go as a representative of the school.
14:19When?
14:21Today, she told me.
14:22We wrote a competition and...
14:25I was going to tell you.
14:27It's not for the school.
14:30What do you mean?
14:32It's not in your nature.
14:35It has nothing to do with your lessons.
14:37It doesn't even affect your grades.
14:39It's out of the school.
14:41But I chose it out of all the classes.
14:43And I advise you.
14:44I'm talking to you.
14:48So.
14:49Your grades are not for the school.
14:51You missed a whole breakfast.
14:53You refuse to help your aunt.
14:55You talk back to me.
14:57And you don't leave me alone.
14:58I never asked you anything.
15:01Every time you shout at us.
15:04I'm fed up with your voice.
15:06What else do you want from us?
15:09Who are you talking to?
15:12Who are you shouting at?
15:14Your mother will learn that.
15:16You will go to the storeroom with your tongue.
15:18With your tongue.
15:19Do you hear me?
15:20Do you hear me?
15:24One day...
15:25One day I will kill you.
15:27I didn't hear what you said.
15:29One day I will kill you.
15:31I'm fed up with this day.
15:32Go to your room.
15:34There is no other food.
15:35I said it now.
15:44I heard him say it clearly.
15:46I heard him with my ears.
15:48One day I will kill you.
15:50He has put it in his mind for a long time.
15:51To kill my brother.
15:53My brother was sacrificing for his family.
15:54But they didn't understand anything.
15:56And her.
15:57The one who made his mother a virgin.
15:59She is the one who destroyed them all.
16:01The murderer.
16:02The murderer.
16:09They are knocking. Open up.
16:16Good evening.
16:17Mrs. Pefani?
16:18Yes.
16:20Who is it?
16:26Mr. Pefanis?
16:28Yes, what do you want?
16:29I am Apostolos Dramalis.
16:30Kostas's math teacher.
16:32Yes, I know who you are.
16:33What do you want?
16:34Could we come in for a while?
16:35I want to talk.
16:37You came uninvited.
16:38Whatever we say, we say it here.
16:39To finish.
16:41Of course, you are right.
16:42I came at the wrong time.
16:44But it's about Kostas and the Avrian competition.
16:47Kostas will not come.
16:49He has family obligations.
16:51Didn't he tell you?
16:53How could he tell me?
16:56As he explained to me the reasons.
16:58Nevertheless, I would like to ask you for a favor.
17:01To make a small exception and not let him come with us tomorrow.
17:05It is a great honor for the school, you know.
17:07Listen, Mr. Dramalis.
17:09You do what you think is right for your school.
17:12And I do what I think is right for my family and for my child.
17:15When we say no, it's no.
17:18You waste your time and ruin mine.
17:20If it's about the financial...
17:21Good night, gentlemen.
17:45Good night.
18:00Mom.
18:16Mom?
18:27Forgive me.
18:29Forgive me.
18:30I didn't mean to kill you.
18:42It's over, it's over.
18:45It's over.
18:50It's over.
18:52I can't see you like this.
18:55I can't take it.
18:57Mom.
18:59Mom.
19:01Mom.
19:03What are you afraid of?
19:06Tell me, what do you want me to do?
19:11Give up the school?
19:13Find a job, get out of here.
19:17I can't see you like this anymore.
19:30I knew she had problems at home.
19:34When you have to deal with kids, you understand the signs.
19:38But what impressed me was that
19:40she never hid behind these problems.
19:43What do you mean?
19:48She didn't use them as an excuse.
19:52She was determined, she did her job.
19:57She always gave me the impression that I was dealing with a mature person.
20:02And I'm not talking about the serious-looking students who want to look older.
20:11Konstantinos,
20:15even at that age, had a complete personality.
20:20And what did you know about his relationship with his father?
20:22What do you know?
20:37Efanis,
20:39can I talk to you for a moment?
20:42I saw the report you made about the schools.
20:46You've only reported Athens.
20:49You wouldn't have been smarter to report other cities.
20:52You may be good at math, but neither chemistry nor physics are your strong suits.
20:58Why are you so obsessed with the city?
21:01Because I can't be anywhere else but in Athens.
21:05If it's about going to a school, I have to be here.
21:09If it's about the economy, there are other solutions.
21:12My parents didn't have money, but they worked as teachers.
21:15It's not about the money. It's not just about the money. It can't be done.
21:18But why?
21:19Why are you whistling to yourself?
21:22I'm not whistling to myself.
21:25It's just...
21:27What do you think it would seem to me if I went to a school in Heraklion, in Patras,
21:32and I knew in advance that I wouldn't go?
21:35All this joy and enthusiasm would be useless.
21:38How can you say that?
21:40Where are your dreams? Where is your Tsampoukas?
21:43My Tsampoukas?
21:46What can I do with Tsampoukas?
21:47Do you know what Tsampoukas does?
21:50I can't leave my little brother alone and run to Patras or Heraklion.
21:55Nor can I leave my mother.
21:58I can't.
22:18Here you go.
22:23I want one.
22:26Come on, my boy.
22:28Come on, my boy.
22:34Let's sum it up.
22:4148.
22:43How many do we have?
22:4512.
22:47Have a good day, my boy.
23:1748.
23:19How many do we have?
23:2112.
23:23Have a good day, my boy.
23:4748.
23:57Hello, Mr. Katerina.
23:59Michalaki.
24:13Did you take the money?
24:15I didn't take anything.
24:17Idiot! Useless!
24:19Where do you think you'll find the money? On the street?
24:22I don't care where I found it.
24:24Fuck you!
24:26Fuck you!
24:47Fuck you!
24:48Fuck you!
24:49Fuck you!
24:50Fuck you!
24:51Fuck you!
24:52Fuck you!
24:53Fuck you!
24:54Fuck you!
24:55Fuck you!
24:56Fuck you!
24:57Fuck you!
24:58Fuck you!
24:59Fuck you!
25:00Fuck you!
25:01Fuck you!
25:02Fuck you!
25:03Fuck you!
25:04Fuck you!
25:05Fuck you!
25:06Fuck you!
25:07Fuck you!
25:08Fuck you!
25:09Fuck you!
25:10Fuck you!
25:11Fuck you!
25:12Fuck you!
25:13Fuck you!
25:14Fuck you!
25:15Fuck you!
25:16Fuck you!
25:17Fuck you!
25:18Fuck you!
25:19Fuck you!
25:46I loved his father.
26:07How did you know?
26:09I know.
26:11He told me.
26:13And you believe him?
26:16He lied to me.
26:19He told me the day my father died.
26:28It was right after the funeral.
26:33I called him.
26:36And I asked him to see him.
26:40I wanted to escape the sadness.
26:43He told me he would wait for me at the basketball court.
26:48We sat there for a long time.
26:51Without talking.
26:54Without looking at each other.
26:57He just held my hand.
27:13I was...
27:1712 years old.
27:20And...
27:24The only way out of the house
27:27was basketball.
27:32I didn't know I would be good at it.
27:35But...
27:37But I liked to dream that
27:40at some point I would be able
27:43to bring my father to the court.
27:47That he would give me incredible shots
27:49and that I would score like Michael Jordan.
27:53And that he would feel proud of me.
27:58For his son.
28:06He came.
28:09But...
28:13Only once.
28:17I wasn't playing. I was on my period.
28:21I was sitting on the bench
28:23and as soon as I saw him he grabbed me.
28:27I started shaking.
28:30I was waiting to go in and with the first chance to show him
28:34that I was a little Frenchman.
28:41In that game
28:45I didn't play at all.
28:51That one and only time
28:54that I would have the chance
28:57to see my father
28:59and make him feel proud of me
29:01For me it's not...
29:05It's just...
29:08It didn't happen.
29:12I love my father.
29:17And I hate myself
29:19for asking for his love.
29:25Remember your father now.
29:29Remember him
29:31and love him.
29:48You have to judge me.
29:51Not Kostas.
29:55I'm to blame for everything.
29:58I'm to blame.
30:05I was married for so many years
30:08to that bastard.
30:14I knew him
30:18but I didn't have the strength
30:21to take my children and leave.
30:28And I made two unhappy children.
30:35You have to judge me.
30:40Not Kostas.
30:43Kostas is innocent.
30:57I'm sorry.
31:08What are you doing?
31:09No, daddy.
31:11Eat it.
31:14Eat it, boy.
31:16Eat it.
31:17Stop!
31:20Get up.
31:22Get your hand off your father, you asshole.
31:25Leave him, son.
31:26You, who made them like your own flesh and blood!
31:28No!
31:29You, who made them like your own flesh and blood!
31:31No!
31:32Leave me alone!
31:38What have you done, my daughter?
31:39It's your fault!
31:40It's your fault!
31:41Why?
31:42What did they do to you?
31:44Shut up, my daughter, or I'll kick you!
31:46You, who made them like your own flesh and blood!
31:48No!
31:49No!
31:56No!
31:58Shut up, my daughter, or I'll kick you!
31:59No!
32:01No!
32:03No!
32:05Spit it out!
32:21Hold still!
32:24Move!
32:25Let go of me!
32:26Let go of me!
32:30Let go of me!
32:31Let go of me!
32:45All I want to say is...
32:49I'm sorry.
32:55I don't know what else to say.
33:00Maybe...
33:05Maybe my biggest complaint was that...
33:11I never felt like I had a family.
33:18And...
33:26I remember...
33:31That...
33:33I imagine what it would be like if I had...
33:38If I really had a father who would love me.
33:43And...
33:48A mother who wouldn't be...
33:51All the time with black eyes.
33:55And...
34:01A brother who wouldn't be afraid all the time.
34:11That...
34:19What I always wanted was...
34:22For us to be a normal family.
34:27And...
34:32I'm sorry.
34:52I'm sorry.
34:57I'm sorry.
35:00It's okay, Michalis!
35:01Give it to me!
35:02Give it to me!
35:05Come on!
35:06Shoot!
35:09Yes!
35:10Yes!
35:21Yes!
35:22Yes!
35:23Yes!
