a man goes mad and kills his family outside a greek museum

A family gathering in Greece devolves into deception, incest, and quite a lot of murder.

Manos, a Greek school teacher, is forced to travel to Melbourne, Australia when the man who murdered his grandfather 57 years ago surfaces there. While the reluctant Manos is tutored in the art of revenge by old friend Stephanos, he also attempts to patch things up with his former fiance Nicki.

The film, in the distinctive style of a crime novel, explores contemporary Greek reality through the literature of Petros Markaris.
