A dodo, a bird extinct for the last 300 years, suddenly appears at the villa of a financially troubled family on the eve of their daughter’s marriage to a wealthy heir. Wedding preparations are disrupted, and the line between sanity and madness collapses as the situation spins out of control. Not recommended for young audiences.
Nominated for 15 Hellenic Film Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress (Smaragda Karydi), Best Actor (Akis Sakellariou)
This project is supported, in part, by funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, Statewide Community Regrants Program
with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, and administered by Flushing Town Hall.
We look forward to bringing you Greek films that entertain, inform, and inspire.
