The Last Homecoming

THE LAST HOMECOMING
(Ο Τελευταίος ΓυρισμÏŒς)
Dir. Corinna Avraamidou
Greek language with English subtitles
Cyprus/2008/85mins/35mm
Written by Corinna Avraamidou
Produced by Kyriakos Tofaridis
Filmmaker Corinna Avraamidiou shows us the vulnerability of a small community at a very specific moment in history – immediately before their lives are besieged by war. Such uncertainty and upheaval comes counterpointed with the blossoming of a love affair and the sheer beauty of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, where the colours and sounds of nature reflect a carefree environment.
During the course of what seems to be an idyllic Mediterranean summer, a Greek Cypriot family are asked to re-evaluate their relationships, as compelling desires and needs begin to unfold. Passions, infidelities and betrayal emerge, while political mumblings are heard in the distance. The year is 1974. Soon their world will change forever.
