Coming Soon: The Summer with Carmen
A charming, sun-splashed gay friendship comedy from director Zacharias Mavroeidis, The Summer with Carmen is set at a nude beach near Athens. There, best friends Demosthenes (Yorgos Tsiantoulas) and Nikitas (Andreas Labropoulos) begin to brainstorm ideas for a screenplay based on the colorful events of a previous summer.
Nikitas, who fancies himself the next Xavier Dolan, and Demos, who dreams of a Hemsworth brother playing him, take their memories and blends their intersecting narratives – as memory collides with fantasy and art rubs up against truth.
With a fresh, metatextual perspective on storytelling, this ‘film within a film’ shifts timelines while delivering a funny and poignant look at gay relationships, friendships, intimacy and pet ownership.
