Strella
Strella (; international title: A Woman's Way) is a 2009 Greek drama film written and directed by Panos H. Koutras. The plot centres around the relationship between a 45-year-old ex-convict and a 25-year-old transgender woman.
Plot
Yiorgos Mihalopoulos (Yiannis Kokiasmenos) is released from prison after 14 years of incarceration for a murder he committed in his small Greek village. He spends his first night out in a cheap hotel in Athens where he meets Stella (Mina Orfanou), a young and beautiful prostitute who is nicknamed "Strella" by her friends. He goes to his village where he hopes to reconnect with his son Leonidas, whom he has lost contact with. That night, Strella invites him for whiskey, and Yiorgos deduces Strella is a trans woman. Despite Strella's initial resistance, the two have sex before parting the morning after.
