After many years Antigoni has returned to the Greek town where she grew up. She begins working as a teacher and finds a boyfriend, Nikos. Her friend Eleni is regularly humiliated and beaten by Nondas, a bullish man with a criminal record. Antigoni starts fighting against brutalised male world dominated by discrimination, corruption, violence and submissiveness. A fascinating, western-like tragedy!
"The heroine’s name is Antigone, but the myths at work in STANDING ASIDE, WATCHING, are those of the American western, a western one whose heroine has more cojones than a dozen Gary Coopers. Servetas (...) is delivering a thriller, albeit an intelligent, naturalistic one with a heroine whose only superpower is her conscience, accompanied by an inability to stifle it for the sake of an unhappy peace. The movie grabs you by the neck." (toh! Thompson on Hollywood)
