J.A.C.E. poster

Released in 2012, J.A.C.E. is a drame film directed by Menelaos Karamaghiolis, running about 142 minutes. “JUST + ANOTHER - CONFUSED / = ELEPHANT” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Twice-orphaned Jace, a seven-year-old Albanian of Greek origin, witnesses a massacre that wipes out his entire foster family in Argyrokastron, and then falls in the hands of a bunch of ruthless gangsters who "export" children abroad for various profitable reasons (ranging from beggary to organ trade). Jace ends up in Athens, Greece, begging at street corners, exploring the secret horrors of brutal institutions for young offenders or, much later, serving obscure patrons, in an underworld where violent loss seems to be his only destiny. The movie follows Jace's inverted Odyssey in a dark universe of abuse, murder and fear, as he desperately (and silently) seeks for a "family" of his own or, at least, for a sense of belonging

Who’s in it. J.A.C.E. stars Alban Ukaj as Jace, Stefania Goulioti as Maria, Argyris Xafis as Angelos Karras and Ieronymos Kaletsanos as Antonio, among others.
