A Nazi general moves in with a small Greek family in Athens during the Second World War. Forced to adapt, the Helianos family must cope with the general’s tyranny; their personal world destroyed. As they react to the new hierarchy in their home, tensions develop between intruder and intruded. With the family’s lives on the line, both parties wonder: Who will upset the balance first?

Winner of multiple awards at the Milan International Film Festival, Apartment in Athens is a riveting portrait of wartime oppression. As the general warms to the family, they proceed with caution, hesitant to shed their distrust. Both haunting and claustrophobic, apartment in Athens is an intimate look at the mentality of captivity, exploring the dance of power as formalities unravel.
