DIRECTOR’S NOTE
“Broken Vein is a contemporary, thoroughbred urban drama of tragic heroes and fateful characters, set in a grey, booby-trapped world. It’s an ordinary story that, through its unexpected turns, reveals the many faces and masks of the individual, while bringing to life one of the worst nightmares a person could ever live through. Drawn from the very core of the great tradition of ancient Greek drama, the film brings the past into the present to raise once more the ideas of Ethos, Hubris, Fate, Shame, Intemperance, and crime both willed and unwilled. And in the end, what always remains after this frantic journey of life is nothing other than the solitary, tragic nature of man.”
— Yannis Economides
