Our take
At odds with the so-called Greek ‘Weird Wave,’ this comedy-drama is more reminiscent of Gregg Araki or Xavier Dolan, exploring the relationship between two brothers, Thessaloniki-bound and in search of their father. With vivid cinematography from the great Helene Louvart (The Wonders, Beach Rats).
