In Red Background

2008 TV Show Drama

Love, passion, fear, pain, blood. All symbolized by the most intense of colors, red, because people who live with passion live against a red background. In 1967, a soldier in the Greek division leaves Cyprus, losing his teenage love forever. Forty-one years later, he learns that he left much more behind. A woman trapped in a dead marriage, but at the same time caught up in a passionate and forbidden love affair. A doomed love affair that will lead two brothers into a deadly conflict. When one foot steps into passion, the other is surely in the wrong. But only the dead are far from passion and error. The living are doomed to experience the supreme happiness of a love that is born, but also the deep pain left behind by a love that dies, or, even worse, a love that is forever forbidden and unfulfilled. Joy and tears, love and pain, are all painted on a red background!

"Kokkinos Kyklos" is a series of standalone episodes based on crimes that shocked public opinion. However, the stories have been altered so that neither the people nor the situations are recognizable. The heroes of the series are sometimes the perpetrators and sometimes the victims, and their stories extend from the boundaries of drama to those of thriller. How far do these stories deviate from the truth? As much as people’s opinions differ amongst themselves, since each of us has their own personal truth. For this reason, the series doesn't simply aim to recreate a story or re-imagine characters. It doesn’t only want to entertain. It simultaneously attempts to make the viewer think by presenting another perspective – the perspective of one of the heroes of the story, who after much consideration is chosen as the central hero of the episode.

Based on a feud that began without any significant cause between the Karakamilos and Pattalossavves families in 1754 and continues to this day, the contemporary reality of Cyprus will be presented through exaggerated comedy. We will see everyday people, our neighbors, but also people who are twice our size, who live in our homes and whom we do not pay much attention to. They are foreigners, "outsiders." They are people who chose Cyprus, to work for a better future. How do we treat them? How do Cypriots today view foreign workers? Amidst all this, a great love and two deaths reignite the feud, which no one knows how or when it will end.
