Introduction
If a definitive test could prove your love connection, would you take it? Christos Nikou (Apples) makes his English-language debut with a film that probes at the soft underbelly of human relationships. His articulate script and flawless direction is matched by an impressive cast, who effortlessly inhabit this strangely familiar yet abstract world. It’s a film brimming with originality, subtle comedic notes and deep emotional beats.
