Athena (2022)

It happened in one of the cities of the French province. The street riots that suddenly broke out provoked a threat to the lives of civilians, since anyone could become victims of a blind raging crowd. The cause of the popular riot was the death of a minor, in which local police officers were accused. Having failed to achieve a fair punishment for the perpetrators of the tragedy, the family of the deceased boy could not accept this and decided to resort to the harshest methods.

Driven by a thirst for revenge, two brothers – a student and a military man did not want to find out the details of what had happened, fixated on the facts that were indisputable for themselves. Instead, they organized a radical movement and, together with other active residents of the city, opposed the arbitrariness of law enforcement agencies, organizing pogroms and arson of police stations, and using force on everyone who was considered involved and who came to hand. When the situation finally got out of control, the authorities were forced to apply the most drastic measures to resolve the situation, thereby only further spurring an already serious conflict. The number of victims is growing with a catastrophic progression. There will be no winners in the heated confrontation between the two sides.
