This film has a slight critique towards Hollywood films and their depiction of European capitals, mainly targeting countries like Greece and France. However that is just the plain and first message of the film. In actuality this slight critique to Hollywood films is just the first layer, the second layer is about Greece's rising issues of political corruption, poverty, and drug use. I think mentioning that stigma that is around Greece due to Hollywood films, helps create a nice contrast to it's saddening reality.
