Kyuka Before Summer's End

Summer in Greece. A family of three – single father Babis and his teenage twins Konstantinos and Elsa – sail to the island of Poros for their holiday. It is a typical family holiday, with sun, sea, barbecues, new friends, and the occasional boredom and irritation. What Konstantinos and Elsa do not know is that they have run into their mother, who abandoned them after they were born.

They are very intrigued by this eccentric woman, but for Babis the meeting mainly stirs up old pain. Kuyka Before Summer's End is a sun-drenched, bittersweet, funny and abrasive coming-of-age story by debutant Kostis Charamountanis. The film is an ode to the summers he spent sailing as a child.
