KOSTIS CHARAMOUNTANIS’ FEATURE WORLD PREMIERS AT ACID SECTION, CANNES FESTIVAL

Kostis Charamountanis’ feature film “Kyuka – Before Summer’s End” world premieres at Cannes parallel section Acid (Association for the Distribution of Independant Cinema) !

Summertime. A family of three, a single father, Babis, and his twin children on the verge of adulthood, Konstantinos and Elsa, sail to the island of Poros on the family boat for their holidays. In the midst of swimming, sunbathing and making new friends, Konstantinos and Elsa meet unbeknownst to them, their birth mother Anna who abandoned them when they were babies. This encounter will stir up long-held feelings of resentment in Babis, resulting in a sun-kissed, bittersweet coming-of-age journey for everyone involved.

This year’s selection world premieres nine features and will be screened at Cannes Festival between May 15 and 24, 2024 at Palais des festivals, Les Arcades, Studio 13, Alexandre III.
