Presentation

A teenage girl runs away from home taking with her nothing but her violin. At the train station she joins a homeless young man and they wander together around the chaotic, inhospitable capital. The odd innocuousness of their wanderings, which is rendered elliptically, with measured feeling, and subtle lyricism, is eventually shown to be highly dramatic and complex. Underpasses, flyovers, busy streets, bridges, and train stations provide a backdrop and a gloss for the meanderings of the two young people.

Panayiotis Karkanevatos’s direction is subtle, while Fenia Papadodima and Yiorgos Ninios’s deliveries are superb. Fragile is a highly cinematic film which lacks drama but is dramatically harrowing.
