A film of historical significance to Greek cinema, it turned the world’s attention to Yiorgos Lanthimos, went all the way to the Oscars, became the emblem of the so-called Greek “weird wave” and endures as a pitch black, sardonic, post-modern riddle.
Synopsis
A family consists of two daughters and a son between the ages of 20 and 30, as well as their two parents. The "children" live in captivity in their isolated family home and have no contact with the outside world. They are educated through taped lessons and are constantly told they should never come out of the house, because they had a brother who left home and was devoured by a cat. According to their father, a child is only ready to leave home if their dogteeth fall out.
