Amygdaliá (2021)

Amygdaliá is a tree that blooms just before spring. It is also the word that haunts a young child when she first arrives in greece. In the curious world of Amygdaliá, people, places, and things come together and part ways as in a dream. A group of women begins to reveal fragmented memories of and within an off-limits mediterranean landscape. A film about belonging, estrangements, and borders, both around us and within us.
