In their luxurious villa near Athens, Mariella and Pavlos, a couple on the brink of financial ruin, are about to celebrate the long-awaited wedding of their daughter Sofia to a wealthy heir. This unusual story unfolds as a dodo, a bird extinct for the past 300 years, inexplicably appears at the villa and begins to have a strange impact on everyone involved. Wedding preparations are disrupted, to say the least, and soon the line between sanity and madness begins to fray. An absurdist film influenced by the work of contemporary Greek cinema’s acclaimed Yorgos Lanthimos and others of the ‘Greek Weird Wave,’ Koutras’s fifth feature, which had its world premiere in Cannes in 2022, earned 15 Hellenic Film Academy Award nominations including Best Picture. “Panos Koutras’ chaotic comedy farce is an ambitious fresco of a family’s existential crisis.” (Screen Daily)
