While having a day-long swim at Athens' queer beach, best friends Demos and Nikitas recall the events of a recent summer in the prospect of turning them into a screenplay for Nikitas' feature film debut. Demos seems to regret breaking up two summers ago with Panos. Or did he? Struggling to transform real life events into the hero’s journey, the two friends question the Number 1 rule of script writing theory -that the hero changes - while they turn a page in their long-lasting friendship. An unapologetically out-and-proud comedy that spotlights the complex and multifaceted friendship between 2 gay men.

-One Night Only-
Rialto Cinemas, Sebastopol
A sublime and smoldering tale of love in mid-air, moving pictures speak a thousand words in Veit Helmer’s whimsical dialogue-free charmer. Chauffeuring gondolas that travel between altitude-defying villages — usually transporting cows, people, or even the occasional dead body — in the remarkably picturesque Caucasus mountains of Georgia. While one gondola goes up to the village, the other goes down to the valley. Halfway down, the gondolas meet every half hour. This is exactly the moment when Iva and Nina, the conductor of the other gondola, meet each time. Iva and Nino begin their courtship with one another through gentle flirtation. It begins with furtive glances and develops into special ideas such as water fights, costume dressing up and a romantic evening. What follows is the big love and stress with the boss.
"This Is A Fabulous Film! The scenery and story are awe-inspiring. It is romantic, fun, and full of joy. Our entire OUTwatch audience is gonna love Gondola. I can’t wait to see it on the big screen!" ~ Jody Laine, OUTwatch
