Attenberg

Bold, innovative, ambitious, impossible to classify. Athina Tsangari’s prize-winning film (Venice Best Actress Award for Ariane Labed) takes Greek cinema another step further, with this peculiar coming-of-age allegory for awakening sexuality, friendship and loss.

Synopsis

A young girl grows up with her architect father in a small seaside town. The human race repels her. She observes it tenuously, through the lyrics of Suicide, Sir David Attenborough’s documentaries about mammals and the sex ed lessons taught by her only friend. A stranger arrives in town and challenges her to a duel on foosball, while her father prepares his ritualistic departure from the 20th century.
