Athanasios Karanikolas : 2014
At Home

Up in a spacious house on the hills of Marathon. A beautiful view of the Aegean Sea. This is where Nadja lives. Along with Stefanos, Evi and their daughter Iris. The four of them are close. They are family. Or so it seems. This is also where Nadja works. She is cleaning, cooking, nursing. Nadja is the family's housemaid. She has been with them since the child spoke her first word. She has been there for Evi when she lost her second child. But in the wake of the country's crisis everything is turned upside down: Nadja is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Driven by financial angst and the fear of having to compromise their own lives Stefanos and Evi decide to let Nadja go. They make her leave. They replace her. Yet she shows no external sign of how these two traumatic events have affected her. Athanasios Karanikolas's third feature was winner of the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury when it premiered at Berlin International Film Festival 2014. His film screened at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival 2014.
