Synopsis

Sotiris is a police interrogator in Athens. He has an obsession: he needs to be fair. He judges the suspects after his personal moral and against the law. With the intention to save another innocent soul, he accidentally kills a man. Dora is the only witness to the crime. She is a poor cleaning woman who leads a breathless life. The struggle to survive has made her unfair. The righteous Sotiris and the unrighteous Dora like each other. But love, honesty and justice aren’t easy to combine.

Director's Statement

UNFAIR WORLD is a very tragic comedy about how people become unfair to others because they are unhappy. Whether by weakness like Sotiris or by need like Dora, the characters are all caught in the same trap: they lead a life that they don’t appreciate and they have no idea how the life they would like to have should be. Each one’s perception of justice means injustice for someone else. As a result, everyone is right; and wrong at the same time. The story is about the paradoxical search of happiness in wrong places, in wrong moments, and the deep existential stress once we realise such a mistake in our life. In UNFAIR WORLD we wanted to create a cinematic world that reflects reality in a way that it transmits to the audience the essence of every moment and every character. With abstraction (in colours, in settings, in acting), with very simply composed images and a very austere cinematography, we wanted to search for the honesty of feelings.
