Small crime is set on a beautiful but ragged Greek island in the Aegean. Our protagonist Leonidas is a frustrated young policeman who has just been assigned here after his graduation from Police Academy and would much rather be in a hassling city than stuck on a sleepy island. He finds hope for action in the discovery of Zacharias body. Each person he talks to on the island has their own version to tell of how Zacharias died and through his unorthodox investigation Leonidas will get to know them all, fall in love, become part of the island them and in the end because of this solve the mystery of Zacharias death.

Directed, written by: Christos Georgiou
Cast: Aris Servetalis, Vicky Papadopoulou, Rania Economidou, Antonis Katsaris
Production Designer: Michalis Samiotis
Cinematographer: Yiorgos Giannelis
Composers: Kostantis & Thanassis Papakonstantinou

Director’s Statement
A Greek island, unique, beautiful and rugged. It’s characters, individuals, very human, and a little crazy. In this world comes Leonidas an outsider who would much rather be in the hassling city instead. With him we get to know the island and it’s people. First we see only the surface, the sleepy island, but once we get to know the people through the funny and earnest young policeman, and we soak up the beautiful landscape we become, like Leonidas, part of the island. The events of the film change Leonidas’ plans, just like on rare occasions you fall in love with the place so much that you change your return ticket, and stay a little longer, and a little longer…

REVIEWS:

A Greek Mounsier Hullot heads for the box-office.
By Ninos F Mikelides ELEFTHEROTYPIA - 18/11/2008

In the pleasant surprises of the festival is “Small Crime” by Christos Georgiou a tasteful and full of humour film which is capable of wider audience appeal. The film could be titled, “Who killed Zacharias?” a reference to the Hitchcock film “The trouble with Harry”. Georgiou succeeds in creating a number of good, clever gags with his protagonist on his scooter getting clumsily tangled in various situations much in the style of a Greek Monsieur Hullot. It’s a pleasant film with a good rhythm, a comedy from which lessons can be learned from directors who wish to aim at the box office.

CYPRUS WILL SAVE US - TA NEA, 22 /11/ 2008 - Dimitris Danikas
“Small Crime” by Christos Georgiou: The only till yesterday Friday complete story of the Festival. With a beginning, middle and end. With humour sensitivity and real acting (Aris Servetalis, Viki Papadopoulou).

“Small Crime”: A pleasant surprise. NAFTEMPORIKI, 20/11/08 - K. MOYXIMOGLOU Sudden surprise was “Small Crime” by Christos Georgiou which shows that Greeks can also have a lighter spontaneous humour… Christos Georgiou makes us laugh from the first two minutes of the film, making us feel good during the whole film, where as well as laughter he makes social critique and creates meaningful messages. Excellent is the lead Aris Servetalis, and all the cast are very good in their parts
