RECEPTIONS (Dexioseis)
Hunger, personal dignity and moral compromise are the principal concerns of this dark comedy that explores how basic survival needs affect the choices people make. The story focuses on a stubbornly uncompromising unemployed journalist determined to hold on to his principles. Yet, faced with homelessness and hunger, he joins a group of gatecrashers who sneak into receptions to eat for free. Two questions are posed for the viewer to consider: How does hunger affect the meaning of integrity? Does integrity hold when the stomach is empty? | Winner 2026 Hellenic Film Academy Award: Best Supporting Actor, Christos Valavanidis
