Vasilly has become painfully jealous of his best friend, Luke. But things aren’t going so well for Luke. Every time he shares some good news, he starts to suffer from strange and violent repercussions. Disturbed by the uncanny timing, Vasilly recalls his Yiayia’s warnings about the Greek superstition of the evil eye - and starts to believe his own envy might be to blame for Luke’s bad luck. Jealous People Are Ugly People is a darkly comic psychological thriller about male jealousy, inherited superstition, and the corrosive power of repressed ambition.
