  • Ston throno tou Xerxi

A ban on physical contact in a dystopian shipyard has turned human interaction into a set of otherworldly simulations. The suppression of contact has transformed the shipyard into a charged landscape of alienation and repressed sensuality that transcends the boundaries of heteronormative passions. On Xerxes’ Throne premiered at the International Critics’ Week in Cannes.

Subtitles: EN, HR
