Adults in the Room

Behind closed doors, a human tragedy plays out. A universal theme: a story of people trapped in an inhuman network of power. The brutal circle of the Eurogroup meetings, imposing on Greece a dictatorship of austerity, utterly disregarding humanity and compassion. A claustrophobic trap with no way out, exerting pressures on the protagonists which will eventually divide them. A tragedy in the Ancient Greek sense: the characters are neither good nor evil, but driven by the consequences of their own conception of what it is right. A tragedy in our modern time.

Based on the book Adults in the Room: My Battle with Europe's Deep Establishment, by Yanis Varoufakis
