Angelos

Angelos, a young homosexual man, handles his diverse sexuality in a discreet way within a hostile and wretched environment. He meets and falls in love with a sailor called Mihalis, who persuades him to move in with him. Mihalis, adopting an attitude which mostly consists of emotional blackmailing, pushes Angelos into prostitution. However, life in the streets proves too hard and Angelos will not endure for long all this violent display of deprivation upon his body. Therefore, with all the love that’s left inside of him, he murders his lover… The film is based on a true event.
