Casablanca of our times. A triptych revealing
the opposing forces of today’s humanitarian
challenges. Two friends, Billy, a tattoo artist
and Nakos, a “banal” Greek racist, come head
to head in AmeriKa Square in Athens because
of the survival journey of Tarek, a Syrian
refugee.
Yiannis Sakarides’ debut film WILD DUCK
screened at the Toronto IFF Busan, Chicago,
Sao Paolo, Beijing, Thessaloniki and LAGFF. A
veteran editor, working in London.
