SMARAGDA - I GOT THICK SKIN AND I CAN'T JUMP
Special Features: U.S. Premiere
[ΣΜΑΡΑΓΔΑ]
Former children’s television host Smaragda has fallen on tough times. Money troubles loom as she is saddled with debt from the cost of treatment for her late mother’s degenerative eye condition, one that Smaragda herself might be inheriting. After her pitch for a new educational series aimed at adults is rebuffed due to her nonexistent social media following, Smaragda desperately tries to cultivate an online audience while juggling a job at the local resort and a mix of on-again-off-again relationships. Director Emilios Avraam’s debut feature takes a grounded look at one woman’s midlife crisis as Smaragda’s journey to self-discovery compels her to contend with her existing legacy and her lasting impact on the world. –Eli Prysant
