Thou Shalt Not Hate

Non odiare

61st TIFF: Greek premiere

Simone Segre, a prominent surgeon of Jewish origin, has long cut off ties with his roots. Returning from rowing practice, he spots a dying man, victim of a hit-and-run accident. He rushes to his help but decides to abandon him upon noticing a swastika tattoo. Stricken by guilt, he tracks down the deceased man’s family and is confronted with the consequences of his action. A portrait of a decaying society that is gradually mutated into a breeding ground of hatred.
