Imbroglio means a confusing and complicated situation. This short film may have it wrong.
Sergeant Tim Baker (Konstantinos Simsiris) of the British army parachutes into a mountainous area of Greece. During the German occupation of Greece Allied headquarters in Cairo through its SOE (special operations executive) made many drops of weapons, munitions and saboteurs to the Greek resistance operating in mountainous areas of Greece.
Baker witnesses the brutality of the Greek resistance towards those perceived to be collaborators. I emphasize perceived here as a lawyer hearsay evidence is most often excluded in litigation evidence. More generous is exclusion of hearsay evidence as opposed to it being deadly.
Directed by Dimitris Papagiannopoulos.
