The new work by Costa-Gavras, the veteran of political films, is based on the book by former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis and traces Greece's debt crisis, including the "bailout" of the country by its Eurozone partners. Half Greek tragedy, half satire, the film portrays Varoufakis as a hero on the losing end of an undignified political theater that imposes disastrous conditions on Greece's social system as the price for averting imminent national bankruptcy. - In the presence of Costa-Gavras!
