The Greek film "Miss Violence" directed by Alexandros Avranas was twice awarded in this year’s Venice Film Festival (Silver Lion for best director to Alexandros Avranas and Coppa Volpi for Best Actor toThemis Panou).
The film begins with a tragic fall:
Leonard Cohen’s holocaust-inspired song Dance Me to the End of Love is playing and family members are dancing when angel-faced 11-year-old Angeliki (Chloe Bolota), whose birthday they’re celebrating, jumps off the family apartment’s balcony to her death.

It's great to see a Cohen song used in a film... but what a harrowing premise.
