Stratos (2014)

Underneath the cloak of darkness, Stratos (Vangelis Mourikis) toils away in an Athens bread factory, his mundane existence shrouded in mystery. But as day breaks, he sheds this ordinary facade, morphing into a professional hitman, his expertise as lethal as it is lucrative. Stratos is enslaved by a heavy debt of honour, one that he can only repay by amassing a fortune to liberate Leonidas, his saviour from a savage past in prison. Stratos' life is a balancing act, teetering between the grim reality of his professional killings and the flickering remnants of his humanity. Unaware of the body count that shadows his footsteps, we glimpse his softer side as he tenderly cares for eight-year-old Katharina, her mother, and an uncle in their close-knit neighbourhood. Finally, Stratos' arduous journey leads him to accumulate enough wealth for Leonidas' prison escape. But the plan crumbles as Leonidas is ensnared in a crimson-streaked trap set by his own brother, who vanishes with the hard-earned money. Simultaneously, Stratos uncovers a chilling threat looming over innocent Katharina, her safety hanging by a thread both mentally and physically. Stratos is caught in a vortex of escalating dangers, where every decision is a leap between the devil and the deep blue sea. But he must act, even if it means piling one sin atop another. This tale of honour, betrayal, and redemption is as captivating as it is thrilling, a testament to the complexities of human nature and the lengths one will go to protect the vulnerable.

Stratos is a crime movie featuring Vangelis Mourikis and directed by Yannis Economides.
