Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
A native farmer lives alone in the heart of a mountain forest in Northern Greece—where he has been fighting an expanding industrial monster that disturbs the flora and threatens his property for years. But when his son returns home after 20 years, the two will become enemies under one roof.
In Georgis Grigorakis’ contemporary neo-western Digger, the muddy woodlands of Northern Greece make for quietly unnerving territory. Family tensions are layered within wider power structures and environmental concerns in this subdued but potent tale of resistance, produced by Athina Rachel Tsangari.
