Synopsis:
Fiftysomething Pavlos, a husband and father, takes over the responsibilities of his elderly mother’s job as the manager of a crumbling apartment building. Infatuated with a young shopkeeper and plagued with problems at home and at work, he soon finds himself in the grip of a full-fledged midlife crisis. Pairing understated humor with emotional insight, The Building Manager is a compassionate portrayal of the risk involved in surrendering completely to the vagaries of love.
