Jacqueline Lentzou (Athens, 1989) is a writer/director whose work revolves around unconventional family structures and their consequences, coming-of-age and the dream. Her filmic language involves discovering poetry in seemingly ordinary premises.
Artemis, a single 24-year-old living in Paris, France, receives a frantic phone call from her mother—her father Paris is in the hospital and she must return home to Athens to care for him. Resentful of the tasking as she grew up estranged from her father, she becomes reacquainted with him over one emotional summer, learning the secret as to why their relationship was stifled when she finds out Jacob, Paris' friend, who's been always around from her childhood, was actually her dad's lover.
Sofia is panicky, again. The Universe decides to contact her. An other-wordly dialogue. A planet symphony for Mars, where people dream awake and fight for love.
On a very hot day in Athens, Stephanos, the eldest brother, is working out while his mother is planning a day out. After another intense argument, Stephanos is left alone to take care of his two younger siblings as well as Lucy, the family's sick dog. The day is spent pleasantly between summery laziness, pizzas, teenage flirting and phone calls that remain unanswered.
