Behind The Haystacks

(Feature Film)

In 2015, a middle-aged fisherman living on the northern border of Greece near Doiran Lake finds himself in deep debt. He begins trafficking immigrants* across the border, in exchange for a large sum. His wife, a housewife and devout parishioner, seeks truth, while her daughter attempts to define her own life in an oppressive environment. Then a tragic incident hits the family, pushing the three heroes to confront their own impasses and personal weaknesses, while having to consider, for the first time in their lives, the price to pay for their actions.

*During this period several European countries had closed their borders, resulting in hundreds of refugees and immigrants being trapped near the northern borders of Greece.
