Louomenoi (Bathers), 2008, Greece, 46 min.
Director: Eva Stefani
Eva Stefani’s Bathers tells the touching story of the men and women who return every summer to Greece’s medicinal spas. Shot in 2008, the film records a specific historical moment, but also hints at the span of decades as the characters repeat an annual pilgrimage. The sense of freedom and joy is tempered by the awareness of passing years.
