They took his job and his self-respect. All he has left is the house that keeps his family together. Today, they will come for that, too. With nothing left to lose, he decides to take one final stand and keep them out at all costs. A crisis-western set along the UN Buffer Zone that divides the city of Nicosia, Siege on Liperti Street tells the story of one family's struggle to hold on to their home, no matter what the price.

I would be careful with the word "western" (although it's nothing against the "comedy" genre, which, God knows why, HBO presents), but it's definitely a drama, even a great drama. The creators prove that even with such a rarely sober runtime, you can tell a big story with a relatively large number of characters, and they also manage to draw attention to the still hot situation in Cyprus, which will probably never be completely resolved.
