Cyprus
West Coast Premiere
Director: Simon Farmakas
Producer: Antonis Farmakas
Cast: Athos Antoniou, Kika Georgiou, Tim Ahern, Antonis Katsaris, Andreas Melekkis

A young villager gets caught in a tragicomic tug-o’-war, when a strange sphere, tracked by a foreign intelligence agency, crash-lands into his potato field.

Avoiding the stereotypical ethnographic comedies of the genre, the storyline intertwines the lives of the local villagers with the intelligence agents, combining the peasant-like naivety with international conspiracies and intrigues, conveying similarities that the latter has with the run-of-the-mill village rivalries and their struggle for authority and ownership.

Screening in the Sci-Fi program.
