My Mother Is a Saint

"My name is Simeon the Madman. From now on, I will only speak my true language. I will go back to the city I remember and with the power of God, I will mock the world".

Driving Lessons

Nick, along with his wife and child, are traveling to his family's house in the countryside. It soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary visit.

Illusion

Sotiris is a financial editor at a local newspaper, living a mundane life, until he locks eyes with the gorgeous Olga at a Russian expat Christmas party. Unable to get her out his head, he starts looking for the girl of his dreams, only to find himself immersed in a dark and dangerous world, where the difference between illusion and reality will soon be made abundantly clear.With Zenia Kaplan as the proverbial femme fatale, Savvas Karydas explores the twin concepts of escape/dream and dead-end/deceit. From this unique perspective, Illusion could easily be perceived as a film noir. At the same time, it’s a film about contemporary credit crunch societies and their effect on relationships and attitudes, imposing a new moral order where love and friendship are tested, redefined and demystified.

Largo

An unfinished love story between glimpses on wheels.
