Maria Filini

A young boy uses fantasy to escape the pressures of assimilating to his new life in Greece. Meanwhile, his mother navigates a contentious marriage.

A BLAST is the story of a generation's disillusionment and radicalization, set in the fervent years of the collapse of the Greek economy. Maria is unwilling to reconcile with a life of unreturned care, lost dignity and a broken-down desire to live. She attacks, in a relentless battle to find truth, in and around her.
