"Wasted Youth" is the opening film of the 40th edition of the International Film Festival Rotterdam (Jan 26 - Feb 6) and also a candidate for this year’s Tiger Award.

Co-directed by Argyris Papadimitropoulos and Jan Vogel, "Wasted Youth" was shot with a small crew and a low budget during the summer of 2010 in Athens. 

Micro-doc filmed & edited by Nikos Stamboulopoulos for IamExpat

This is the first Greek film to be produced entirely after the financial crisis broke out. The story is inspired by true events, even though it remains clearly fictitious.
