The Chaos She Left Behind
Strip Club Doorman
Anna, in her late twenties, feels like her life is sliding away from her hands. A ticket to a prestigious music school in Paris might be the perfect last chance to pursue her dream career in piano. Success seems not so elusive unless her manipulative, self-destructive alcoholic father stands in her way.
The City and the City
Six chapters describe the lives and perils of Thessaloniki’s Jewish community which was almost entirely exterminated by the Nazis in 1943. Past and present become an echo chamber in which the viewer experiences, aghast, the madness of humanity.
