Country: Cyprus
Director: Marios Piperides
Cast: Adam Bousdoukos, Fatih Al, Vicky Papadopoulou & Özgür Karadeniz.
Yiannis is broke and to escape from his problems, he decides to move to the Netherlands. He is still taking care of his ex-girlfriend's dog, Jimi. While taking Jimi for a walk, the dog runs away from the Greek Cypriot side of Nicosia to the Turkish-occupied side of the divided city.
This is the second movie from Cyprus that I am watching, the previous one was Committed (2014). Both Free-Greek zone and Occupied-Turkish zone follows some rules for their own safety. Like the title refers, Yiannis is trying to smuggle his dog from one side to another. Marios Piperides uses a man who loses his dog as a center of attraction to talk about the history of Nicosia and the political side of it. He tenderly captures both sides emotions and how they react to the divide situation of their own country. It's not about saving a dog, but it's really about a guy who finally takes a stand to do something instead of running away from it. Yiannis was played by Adam Bousdoukos who does justice to his character. Overall, It's a simple movie and If you are looking for a breezy comedy movie, Just watch Smuggling Hendrix.
Verdict: Good
