Worlds Apart

Directed by Christopher Papakaliatis1h 53m2015

Three separate narratives each following a love story between a foreigner and a Greek. Each story represents a different generation falling in love during a time of socioeconomic turmoil that dominates Southern Europe as a whole, only to connect as a single story in the end.

Our read: Worlds Apart (2015) reads as a sombre, steady, grounded romance · crisis · ensemble entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
