Boy on the Bridge

An idyllic childhood crashes against the realities of the adult world in Petros Charalambous’ dark coming-of-age debut feature set in 1980s Cyprus.

"Twelve-year-old Socrates (Constantinos Farmakas) spends his summer riding through the mountains of his picturesque village, tormenting the neighbours and making illegal fireworks with his cousin, Markos (George Demetriou). His days of innocence come to an abrupt end when faced with unrelenting violence at the hands of his menacing uncle. Setting out to teach him a lesson, Socrates’ actions will put him at the heart of a murder investigation and change his life forever." (Greek Film Festival)
