“Abel,” a film by ARTWORKS Fellow Konstantinos Konstantinos Karamaghiolis, will be distributed by Danaos Cinema with screenings scheduled for October 15 and 16 at 21:30. Following its premiere, the film will be featured at the International Festival of Chania from October 16 to 27.
Synopsis: Set in the Greek countryside, a priest’s life is thrown into turmoil when an unexpected phone call from a mysterious woman disrupts his quiet existence. What follows is a journey through primal emotions, divine communion, and a final football match. Inspired by the biblical myth of Cain and Abel—the first murder after the original sin—Abel is an existential exploration where the pursuit of forgiveness and love takes precedence over the search for material wealth. The film culminates in a touching encounter between two unconventional characters, symbolizing the breakdown of long-standing societal stereotypes in Greece.
