The Iron Gate
6.5
In a poor neighborhood of Athens, Andreas and Eftyhis are struggling to eke out a living. Making the most of the adventurism inspired in them by the post-war era and trying to make a life for themselves against the backdrop of the post-dictatorship conservative regime, the two heroes gradually lose their political conciousness and social identity and are led to ruin.
