"Arm wrestler" - Greek movie with English subtitles

Synopsis

An arm wrestler who lives in a remote Greek village tired of the small community mentality decides to return to Athens. In this journey of adulthood he will face in a "bras de fer fight" the most difficult opponent himself.

A poetic character-study of the director’s brother Panos a 30-year-old cafe-owner aspiring actor and occasional clown/magician for whom arm-wrestling is essentially a time-consuming side line.
