A Blast



Syllas Tzoumerkas : 2014

Maria is running away on the highway. She is alone in her roaring SUV. Behind her, fire and a suitcase full of money. In front of her, the hopeless vastness of the motorway. Her crazy, accelerating course will stop at nothing. Only a day before she was a caring mother, a loving wife, a responsible daughter. Today she has gone rogue: she is determined to sweep away everything she has ever cared for. Maria's tragic tale of ascent to redemption is narrated through bits of the present that become tangibly interwoven with fragments of the past, creating a dazzling and devastating mural of contemporary Greece. Syllas Tzoumerkas's second feature premiered in competition at Locarno Film Festival 2014.
