This was a really sweet movie about a complete scumbag. Really enjoyed the tone and the vibes here. What a swim.

Loved this! Follows a somewhat tried and true formula until it takes some interesting turns in the third act. This film really shines in the two central stars in Christos Passalis and especially Maria Petrova who gives a heartbreaking and beautiful performance as Iris.

The guy who just smoked a cigarette next to me really made this a 4D experience.
