The screening is part of the Society’s Always on Sunday series, which showcases Greek films for New York audiences each month.

Written and directed by Stergios Paschos, the film stars Kostas Koronaios, who won Best Actor at both the Thessaloniki Film Festival and the New York Greek Film Expo, and Klelia Andriolatou, best known internationally for her role in Netflix’s hit series Maestro in Blue.
