Cypriot director Kyros Papavassiliou's latest film is set in a world in which time is arbitrary and nonlinear; where a person can be "35 years old on one day, 65 years old the next day and 19 years old the day after." At the center of this time-shifting narrative is a couple, Penelope (Maria Apostolakea) and Isidoros (Hristos Sougaris), who find their relationship tested as they move through time, becoming strangers one moment and expectant parents the next. How can anyone nurture a stable relationship — or a life — when there's so much uncertainty? Starting from this heady premise, Papavassiliou takes viewers on an imaginative journey investigating the nature of memory, grief and motherhood. DIR/SCR Kyros Papavassiliou; PROD Marios Piperides, Janine Teerling. Cyprus/Greece, 2023, color, 91 min. In English and Greek with English subtitles. NOT RATED
