- Synopsis:
In 2015, following the Syriza's victory to the 2015 Greek legislative election, Greek minister of finance Yánis Varoufákis (Christos Loulis) was tasked by Prime Minister Aléxis Tsípras (Alexandros Bourdoumis) to negociate a new deal on the Greek bailouts signed by previous government with the Troïka, in order to avoid the country having to face another debt crisis. However, following succesive meetings of the Euro-group throughout the entire film, Varoufakis proposals are only met with flat refusals from Troïka's institutions. With constant threats from the European institution of an eviction of Greece from the Euro zone if their demands aren't met, Greek PM Aléxis Tsípras is forced to sign the MoU, going against popular will which rejected the bailouts through referundum with the No winning with 62% of the ballots. Yánis Varoufákis then resign five months after taking office. - Actors:
