Based on the book Adults in the Room: My Battle with Europe’s Deep Establishment, the political memoirs of Yanis Varoufakis, the Greek economist, academic, philosopher and politician. Behind closed doors, a human tragedy plays out. A universal theme, a story of people trapped in an inhuman network of power. The brutal circle of Eurogroup meetings, imposing on Greece a dictatorship of austerity with utter disregard for humanity and compassion. A claustrophobic trap with no way out, exerting pressure on the protagonists and finally dividing them. A tragedy in the Ancient Greek sense: the characters are neither good nor evil, but rather driven by the consequences of their own conception of the right thing to do. A tragedy befitting our very modern times.
