With echoes of profound Greek tragedy, Brando with a Glass Eye focuses on Luca (Yiannis Niarros), a young method actor dreaming of studying with acting royalty in New York, whilst barely working as a mechanic in urban Athens. After reticently joining a heist gone wrong, Luca develops a friendship with Ilias (Alexandros Chrysanthopoulos), the victim of the crime, and his suspicious, privileged family.

Anchored by a magnificent leading performance, Antonis Tsonis' magnetic feature debut is a tribute to the best European cinema, and a bona fide addition to the Greek New Wave.
