"From the Edge of the City"
1998
Directed by Constantine Giannaris

In this raw, realistic drama, an 18-year-old Kazakhstani immigrant living on the outskirts of Athens works as a male prostitute and tries to survive johns, drug dealers, pimps, gangsters and other obstacles in a country that is not his own. "...it captures a gritty urban reality without moralizing or sentimentalizing its hapless young protagonist" (Stephen Holden, The New York Times).
