A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE PROJECT
In a living room in Paris, two young couples meet to discuss their two eleven-year-old children’s fight. Looking for a mutually acceptable solution, they will reveal their inner selves and the initially civilized, mature discussion will be led to brutality.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE
The Family has changed. New generations of parents, more educated and cosmopolitan, have embraced a better way of raising their children. But how capable are we to resist the primal instincts, the experience of our own childhood life, the violence exerted on us by the constant defense of our public image? Civilized society continues the perpetual struggle with reining in taboos. And God, the totem of our unconscious, continues to rule us, no matter how much we renounce him.

Lydia

I'm Austrian living in Tavronitis, love nature, music, good books, sunsets, the sea, travelling, socializing and more. I came to Crete as a student in the early 70s, exploring the west and southwest of the island with friends by motorbike. When you are young everything is important and, there are lots of things to do...I did. Job, family,children, travelling the world. But I never lost my love for Crete for a minute. And nine years ago I ended up in this convenient corner of Crete, not only for holidays, but to stay and haven't regretted it for a minute.
