Synopsis

An abandoned seaside resort. The end of shooting a fantasy film about the end of the world. Apocalypse and Joy, two women involved in the movie, one an actor, the other the director, are about to end their relationship.

To delay Apocalypse's departure and their last goodbye, Joy, the oldest of the two, tells her lover five dark stories.

Five stories about women who don't want to grow old. Five adventures in which science fiction, vulgarity, necrophilia, and poetry play a part.

Honeymoon, by Alkis Papastathopoulos

After a traumatising event involving the cops, Fay is leaving Greece for good. Sandra accompanies her to the bus station, taking this time as a chance to say goodbye. As they are travelling by bus across the country, a transphobic attack by two co-passengers leaves them stranded on a highway in the middle of nowhere.
