Sunrise in Kimmeria

“Sunrise in Kimmeria” is a drama-comedy taking place in a particularly remote Mediterranean village, wedged between a military buffer zone and a decadent tourist resort. It tells the story of a mild-mannered young villager who gets caught in tragicomic circumstances, when a strange sphere, tracked by a foreign intelligence agency, crash-lands into his potato field.

Skevos and his family are in debt to a local loan-shark, and Skevos works hard to repay him. When a strange object tracked by an international intelligence agency, crashes into his field, inside a U.N. controlled area, his debtor, Pambos, a.k.a. “The Shark”, offers to cut 10% off Skevos’ debt if he takes the object to him. The village goes into tragicomic overload as the young farmer unwisely digs it out, setting off a chain of unexpected events. Narrated with a slight nostalgic note, the film is a hybrid folk tale that blends a tableau of village characters with the portrait of an individual struggling to stand up for himself and make a difference.
