Based on the hit stage play “To Gala” by Vassilis Katsikonouris, “Burning Heads” offers an insightful perspective into the life of a family of immigrants living in today's Athens.

Lefteris, a 20 year old bordering on schizophrenia, is indulged by his overprotective mother Rina as he lives life through his memories of childhood in the Russian countryside. In contrast, his older brother Antonis rejects his roots and follows his ambition as he prepares for a new life with his boss' daughter Natasa.

When Antonis brings home his Greek bride-to-be, the family dynamics are unravelled as each one is forced to face reality and deal with the issues that haunt them.
