The film, a co-production involving Greece, Spain, the Netherlands, and the UK, was entirely filmed in Greece. It originally premiered at the Locarno Film Festival and is slated for a wide release on June 5, 2026.
Set in the late 1970s on a private Mediterranean island, the narrative centers on an extravagant birthday party thrown by Marcos Timoleon for his daughter, Sofia. The celebration becomes a nexus for hidden agendas and personal conflicts.
