HEAR WHO IS TALKING

Fotis is at an impasse both personally and professionally. He is a life coach in profession who has lost his orientation. The sessions that once fulfilled him professionally no longer offer him the same inner satisfaction and in his personal life he has completely isolated himself. At this critical turning point for himself and his career, a familiar voice that can only be heard inside his mind will take action. It is the voice of his conscience trying to make him live again. Will Fotis be able to find… Fotis again and fall in love before all is lost?

MURDERESS
ΦΟΝΙΣΣΑ

Based on a classic novel by Alexandros Papadiamantis, "Murderess" takes place on a remote island in Greece, circa 1900. Hadoula, widow of Ioannis Fragos, is a woman who has learned to survive in a male-dominated, patriarchal society by serving as a midwife, a trade that her mother passed down to her. Witnessing and being an accomplish of women’s humiliation and inferiority Hadoula is rebelling inside and it won't take long for this to manifest in her actions. Trapped in her own mother's rejection, Hadoula struggles to survive the dictates of a patriarchal society, while the little girls of the island become her victims…

Βασισμένη στο κλασικό μυθιστόρημα του Αλέξανδρου Παπαδιαμάντη, η «Φόνισσα» διαδραματίζεται σε ένα απομακρυσμένο νησί της Ελλάδας, περίπου το 1900. Η Χαδούλα, χήρα Ιωάννου Φράγκου, είναι μια γυναίκα που έχει μάθει να επιβιώνει σε μια ανδροκρατούμενη, πατριαρχική κοινωνία υπηρετώντας ως μαία, ένα επάγγελμα που της κληροδότησε η μητέρα της. Βιώνοντας την ταπείνωση των γυναικών της εποχής της, η Χαδούλα επαναστατεί μέσα της. Παγιδευμένη στην απόρριψη της ίδιας της μητέρας της, η «Φόνισσα» παλεύει να επιβιώσει υπό τις επιταγές μιας σκληρής πατριαρχικής κοινωνίας, ενώ τα κοριτσάκια του νησιού γίνονται θύματά της…
