In the summertime, a family of three—a single father, Babis, and his twin children on the verge of adulthood, Konstantinos and Elsa—sail to the island of Poros on their family boat for their holidays. Amidst swimming, sunbathing, and making new friends, Konstantinos and Elsa meet a mysterious woman named Anna. This encounter stirs up long-held feelings of resentment in Babis, resulting in a sun-kissed, bittersweet coming-of-age journey for everyone involved.
Kyuka - Before Summer's End, the Opening Film of the ACID in Cannes this year, is the feature debut of Kostis Charamountanis. “The film plays out at the meeting point of nostalgia and something new” (Screen).
