59th TIFF: Greek Premiere

Eight teenagers who spend a suffocating summer in a village on the Dutch-Belgian border decide to overcome boredom by experimenting with different sexual games. As their experiments escalate and the games turn all the more unbearably disturbing, the teenagers turn into merciless beasts. An incredible but real story about the relation between sexuality and power, a modern moral tale without moral judgements in its depiction of a generation that has indulged into cynicism way too early, while learning to speak in first-person plural.
