Together Apart
80’, 2025, Greece, Cyprus

Anna and Philippos meet after a year of separation in order to finalise their divorce and negotiate the future of their two children. Anna seems confident in her decision to separate, while Philip seems unable to accept that their marriage is over. Their heated disagreements and contradictions bring out deeper feelings to the surface. Their love and attraction is rekindled. The island, beautiful but dangerous, becomes a reflection of their marriage.
