Holy Boom

HOLY BOOM is a dramatic film with multiple plotlines, set in a multicultural district of Athens during Orthodox Easter. The lives of four foreigners living in the same neighbourhood change dramatically when, on Palm Sunday, the neighbourhood postbox explodes simply for a laugh by the Filipino teenager Ige. Documents of vital importance to all of them have been destroyed: Lena and Manou's LSD stickers, a letter to Thalia from her abandoned child, and Adia's birth certificate. The consequences are merciless: Lena and Manou are pursued by the drug trafficker demanding his money back. Adia, an illegal immigrant, is now alone with her newborn child, unable even to identify the body of her husband, who has just died in a car accident. Ige tries in vain to be accepted by the local community and Thalia, who is watching everyone in the neighbourhood, has lost her only chance to find happiness. In their struggle to survive, their lives intertwine as circumstances pull them from light into darkness.
