The Summer with Carmen
- 106 mins |
- Zacharias Mavroeidis
- Greece
- 2023
While soaking up the sun at Athens’ gay beach, besties Demos and Nikitas brainstorm ideas for a screenplay. Greek, fun, sexy...
Recalling the lively events of the summer where Demostheneos reluctantly broke up with his ex, and somehow gained a cute dog named Carmen. Inspired to turn it into a new screenplay, Demos and Nikitas soon gets down to work on Athens nudist beach. There’s a caveat, the producer will only commit if it is sexy, fun and low budget.
As our dynamic duo dives into writing their masterpiece, the story bounces between past and present. Beneath the laughs and chaos, there’s a joyous exploration of what it means to be a modern gay man today, from dating dilemmas to the pressure of fitting into society’s neat little boxes.
