Violent and energetic in its headlong rush into the abyss, From the Edge of the City takes an unsparing look at the lives of a gang of Pontian immigrants from the former USSR, returned, after centuries, to their motherland, Greece. 17-year-old Sasha, sharp, streetwise and ambitious, is the leader of the gang. They roam Athens, hang out in clubs, hit brothels and cruise the city streets making a living from petty crime and from selling their bodies in Omonia Square - not so much Human Traffic as human cattle. Adolescents hungry for adventure, they dare to challenge the great city that sprawls seductively at their feet. Using all the means at their disposal, they stop at nothing. Shot with the sensibilities of a documentary - handheld photography, video-diary confessions to camera - and edited with the kinetic energy of a music video, From the Edge of the City is a brave, uncompromising look at a hellish counter-culture.
