CINE…: A Filipino domestic worker is hired to care for an elderly couple in a mountain village in Cyprus. What seems like a simple task spirals into a power game, where balances are shaken and the boundaries between need, fear, and tenderness become blurred and fragile.
…phil_101: Observing the relationships that develop within power and social status inequalities, H. Dimitriou’s film poses the question of recognition: whether, and under what conditions, the other can be seen beyond the social roles imposed on them.
