The Abyss of Laments

By CHRISTOS GKOUVELOS

Alexander Philippou, after leaving behind his conflict with the Leviathan in Greece, heads to the United Arab Emirates and Israel. The spirituality of Jerusalem, the contrasts of Tel Aviv, and the opulence of Dubai become the compass of his wanderings. His life is gradually transformed as he finds himself trapped between geopolitical conflicts and emotional storms.

The murder of Jonas Karoussis by Hamas brings Alexander face-to-face with the relentless countenance of Death. Subsequently, the bombs of the Middle East transform his love for a woman from an oasis into a consuming fire. Drowned in grief, he carries the weight of his addictions and unanswered existential questions, ascending a personal Calvary.

A profound story about the power of faith, the pain of loss, and the resilience of love, which remains unscathed despite the successive blows of violence and fate.
