Written and directed by multi-award winning filmmaker Nikos Grammatikos, whose previous works have captured prizes at prestigious festivals in Greece, Germany and Egypt, WAKE revolves around the tangled relationship between two brothers: Andreas, an ethically compromised cop on the run from having accidentally shot his wife; and Nikos, a priest, Andreas’ estranged younger brother. They have not spoken for a decade. In this drastic situation, however, Nikos is Andreas’ last resort. They spend an incredible night together on the run from the world and both into and out of their troubled pasts.

Écrit et réalisé par le cinéaste maintes fois primé Nikos Grammatikos, WAKE porte sur la relation embrouillée qu'entretiennent deux frères. Andreas, flic à l'éthique compromise, est en cavale parce qu'il a accidentellement tué sa femme; Nikos, le cadet d'Andreas, est prêtre.  Voilà dix ans qu'ils ne se sont pas parlé. Mais dans cette situation draconienne, Nikos est le dernier recours d'Andreas.  Ils passent ensemble une nuit incroyable à fuir le monde, et à entrer et sortir tous deux de leurs passés troublés.
