Guest Star
Loukianos, the only son of two renowned actors, suffers from agoraphobia and lives a reclusive life in his tiny apartment. His world changes dramatically when he is unexpectedly offered the chance to host a major TV network’s successful show. Complications arise when a fabricated romance with an eccentric singer is orchestrated to boost his public image. Guest Star is a satirical and engaging film that explores themes of fame, personal identity, and the often absurd nature of public personas.

The Armchair on the Pavement — (Bonus short presented prior to feature film)
An old song from the radio suddenly triggers memories of youth to an elderly ex-army general suffering from dementia, making him momentarily recall the evening of his engagement to his wife. After a telephone call from his old-time friend, a grocer, telling him that his favorite grape variety has finally arrived, a growing urge to reclaim his old freedom and independence makes him secretly escape against the doctor’s warning. An unexpected incident reverses the couple’s fragile daily routine, while unpredictably rekindles the spark of their lifelong flame. Can you ever forget love?
