Smuggling Hendrix is a 2018 heartwarming comedy-drama directed and written by Marios Piperides. The film stars Adam Bousdoukos as Yannis, a Cypriot musician who lives in Berlin with his dog, Jimi Hendrix. When Yannis’ ex-girlfriend Sophie (Vicky Papadopoulou) files a lawsuit against him demanding the immediate return of the dog, Yannis finds himself in a dilemma - he is attached to his dog and is not yet ready to let go of him.

In the meantime, Yannis’ neighbor (Fatih Al), a Turkish-German aspiring musician, approaches him to collaborate musically. In a sudden turn of events, Jimi runs away from Yannis and crosses the UN buffer zone that separates the Greek and Turkish sides of Cyprus. Yannis decides to cross the border and retrieve Jimi with the help of Mustafa, his Turkish neighbor.
