Don Champagne seems to have it all, but when his wife, Mona, learns of his affair with a pretty new salesgirl, she will stop at nothing to maintain their storybook life.
A young couple, a boy and a girl, meet on the edge of a cliff for their last date. They spend the whole night together, drinking, smoking and talking about their lives and their future; until the dawn comes.
A site-specific audiovisual installation commissioned by the Syros International Film Festival and conceived by filmmaker and visual artist Marina Gioti, focusing on the ceremonial launch of a new vessel, compiling a montage of mid-century archival footage from Greek and international newsreels aiming to bring an international anachronism face to face with the present moment.
In this experimental short, the artist is exploring the notion of identity and belonging using as a starting point the last phrase from Ray Bradbury's allegoric book "The Martian Chronicles". The environment where the short takes place offers glimpses of a labour past that can be mistaken as an otherwordly space. The artist chooses this location to set the story of an astronaut while challenging the notions of extraterrestrial migration, ecology and imperialism.
