Synopsis

Émilienne could have been my grandmother if she hadn't liked traveling. In the small village where she was born, in the heart of the Jura, she recalls the years she spent in New York. I discover pockets of her surprising life in the Super 8 films she entrusted to me, but it is something else which holds my attention.

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.
