The Last Homecoming

Ο Τελευταίος Γυρισμός

2008

A young couple travels from Athens to spend a seemingly idyllic summer with family at their seaside home in Cyprus in 1974 — just as the island lurches toward invasion and their idyll curdles into fear. A drama on the eve of catastrophe.

Corinna Avraamidou’s period drama connects a family story to Cyprus’s intercommunal history and the approach of division.
