The Enemy Within



Yorgos Tsemberopoulos : 2013
O ehthros mou

Kostas Stasinos, 48, the owner of a garden supply store, lives an ordinary life with his wife Rania, his 17-year-old son Andreas, a high school senior, and his 14-year-old daughter Luisa. A progressive thinker and an unapologetic idealist since his student years, he has passed on his values to his children. But when his house is ransacked by a gang of masked hoodlums, who gag him and his family and rape his daughter before taking off with money, valuables and the family's car, their peace and happiness are destroyed, introducing violence into their everyday lives. As fear becomes the new order of the day, will his family find the strength to heal their wounds and move on? The drama focuses on the loss of balance, dignity and humanity in contemporary Greece. The film premiered at Athens International Film Festival 2013.
