In BEARCAVE, two close friends, Anneta and Argyro, stand at the edge of adulthood, compelled to follow imposed futures. Argyro must take over her family’s declining farm; Anneta is forced to be with a man who is celebrated as a hero police officer in their small town. Their friendship is shaken and transformed as they realize their affection for each other begins to grow into something deeper. Set in the green mountains of Greece, BEARCAVE is a raw, unconventional tale of two young women who dare to defy what’s expected. Echoing the spirit of Greek mythology, the protagonists challenge their fates in a place still clinging to tradition. BEARCAVE makes its North American premiere at NewFest, after world premiering at Venice and it is the feature directorial debut of Stergios Dinopoulos and Krysianna Papadakis.
