A few words about 'Smuggling Hendrix' movie
Yiannis, a fading musician, is planning to leave crisis-ridden Cyprus for a better life abroad. His plans are put on hold when his dog Jimi runs away and crosses the UN buffer zone that divides the “Greek” from the “Turkish” side of the island.
Since animal exchange between the two “sides” is prohibited, Yiannis reluctantly joins forces with Hasan, a Turkish settler, and a cast of unexpected characters to smuggle his best friend back.
Through the simple story of a man who loses his dog, Greek Cypriot director Marios Piperides's 'Smuggling Hendrix' gives a vivid demonstration of how the fences we build, both real and imagined, between ourselves and others, can be broken down once we recognize the familiarity in the face of the unknown.
Starring: Adam Bousdoukos, Fatih Al, Vicky Papadopoulou, and Özgür Karadeniz
