A mudslide caused by heavy rain and forest clearance almost swees away the cabin at the foot of the wooded sloe. But this is not the only uheaval in Nikitas’s life. Shortly after the landslide, a man on an off-road motorbike comes racing through the forest and stos in front of Nikitas’s cottage. For the first time in twenty years, Nikitas’s son Johnny stands before him, demanding the inheritance that was left to him in his mother’s will, namely, fifty ercent of the land on which the reclusive Nikitas is now living. At first, Nikitas ignores his son. But there is also a comany that is after the land; called simly “the monster” by the villagers, the firm wants to build a road here. To revent the muddy ground from being ulled from under their feet, father and son have to dig dee into it. Together.Director Georgis Grigorakis sets his rain-drenched woodland Western against a majestic backdro and finds robust yet tender images to tell this tale of rarochement between two men. A story of resistance more owerful than the est excavator.
