In an attempt to pull off a high-stakes Casino robbery, a young Greek boy comes of age and steps up to stop his criminal delinquent brother from carrying out the heist in order to save his family from being torn apart.
SYNOPSIS:
In the backdrop of the Greek-Australian diaspora in 1970s Sydney, this gripping casino heist film presents a compelling narrative akin to The Godfather, delving into the intricate dynamics of a community. At its core, the story revolves around the tumultuous lives of a family, centring on the complex relationship between brothers Alex and Travis.
From the outset, Alex is bestowed with a Mati, a protective stone eye, by his mother Sofia, while Travis remains indifferent to the blessing. While Alex diligently works at a chicken shop and saves money, Travis treads a dangerous path, dealing drugs for a biker gang. When the police raid the bikers' clubhouse, Travis unwillingly takes on a job working at a casino and the stage is set for a thrilling chain of events.
As Alex stumbles upon a clandestine meeting between Travis and two dubious characters, Warren and Colin, his apprehension about the potential fallout for their family intensifies. Confronting Travis, Alex is met with hostility and warned to stay out of his affairs. Subsequently, Travis, Warren, and Colin execute a successful heist at a high-stakes casino, only for Travis to narrowly evade a deadly scheme and escape with $2.5 million.
In his relentless pursuit of Travis, Alex finds himself in a showdown at a new housing estate, where a startling realization dawns upon him amidst the tension—a harrowing revelation about the darkness that has always lurked within his brother.
"A Saint and the Sinner" delves into the profound themes of family dynamics, cultural traditions, and sibling rivalry, delivering a compelling narrative that will captivate audiences.
