Strella (Page 2)

STRELLA, the name of one of the characters in the film, is a play on words, a combination of the female name Stella and the Greek noun Trela (madness, lunacy, or extravagance). George is released from prison after nearly 15 years of incarceration for a murder he committed in his small Greek village. He spends his first night out in a shabby hotel in Athens. There he meets Strella, a young transsexual prostitute. They spend the night together and from then on meet regularly. George attempts to uncover what has happened to his son Leonidas. He hasn't seen him since he was a child. Leonidas witnessed his crime... But George's past soon catches up with him. STRELLA is a completely independent production. The project was denied all grants and was turned down by all governmental institutes and production companies.
