Amerika Square is the film entry from Greece, which will be premiered on Tuesday November 14.
Amerika Square: Tattoo artist Billy and unemployed Nakos are best friends from Athens. Old bachelor Nakos is racist, obsessed with the victim mentality, and completely frustrated with Greece’s increasing immigrant numbers. Billy, however, is in favour of foreigners coming into the country. They meet in Amerika Square in Athens because of Syrian refugee Tarek.
