Operation Hydra (1980)
The film jumps between the 40s and the 70s in Germany. Fateful and foreshadowing it highlights the entanglement of the economic system with the activities of the Nazi party, the Holocaust and the attempts to come to terms with the stories of the past. A spy thriller that tries to be everything at once.
Director: Antonis Lepeniotis
