American distribution following its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.
Cinema Guild will release the film in theaters following its North American festival premiere later this year. The film tells the story of a a pair of wayward young people who abandon their newborn child on a stormy night in the mountains of Greece. Taken in by a family of farmers, Jon grows up without knowing his father or mother. Years later, after a tragic accident, he is sent to prison, where he meets Iro. The two form a connection, expressed through music, that will, by turns, haunt them and uphold them the rest of their days. Freely inspired by the story of Oedipus, Schanelec’s latest is as terrifying as myth and as gentle as a folk song.
Schanelec’s credits include “Places in Cities,” and “Marseille” which both played in Un Certain Regard at Cannes. “The Dreamed Path” competed at Locarno, while her 2019 film “I Was at Home, But” won best director at theCinema Guild previously handled Schanelec’s work theatrically in North America, notably “I Was at Home, But…”
