Holy Boom


2018, Drama, 99 min., Writers: Elena Dimitrakopoulou & Maria Lafi, Director: Maria Lafi
Country: Greece     Language: Greek - English subtitles

"Holy Boom" features multiple storylines, taking place in a multicultural area of Athens during orthodox Easter. The lives of four strangers from the same neighborhood change dramatically when, on Palm Sunday, the Filipino teenager Ige blasts the neighborhood's postbox just for fun. Documents of vital importance to all of them are destroyed: Lena and Manou's LSD stickers, a letter to Thalia from her abandoned child, and Adia's birth certificate. The consequences are relentless: Lena and Manou have trouble with the drug dealer who wants his money back. Adia, an illegal immigrant, is now alone with her newborn child. Her husband has just died in a car accident and she is not even allowed to identify the corpse without the proper paperwork. Ige tries in vain to earn the acceptance of the local community and Thalia, has lost her only chance to find happiness. In their struggle to survive, their lives intertwine, as circumstances drag them away from light.


Maria Lafi is a director and writer, known for Holy Boom (2018), For Eternity (2014) and Erotiki istoria (1990).
