A formerly heroic air force pilot, now an alcoholic loser with a failed marriage, is appointed by his older brother in the Ministry of Commerce to investigate a tragic plane crash that killed 28 people. As he goes through the motions in an alcoholic daze, he gradually comes to realize that the wreck was due to criminal negligence and failure to follow mandatory safety regulations. Powerful commercial and political interests expect him to routinely gloss over the fault of the wrongdoers, and when he balks at falsifying his report a great deal of money is offered him. Refusing this, he is beaten and threatened with financial ruin of himself and his family. He has one material witness who observed details that prove his case, the sole survivor of the crash, and this young woman is threatened as well. Well acted, especially by Nikos Kourkoulos, vivid cinematography and brisk pacing make this a very watchable noir drama.
