Tropikos tou thrinountos gkeko (Tropic of the mourning gecko)

On the verge of leaving his village in Crete for mandatory military service, eighteen-year-old Yorgos encounters a young man who awakens a forbidden desire. During the final days of summer, beneath the scorching sun, the future mapped out for him unravels as his dreams give birth to a new skin.

Young people can dream of freedom, but what happens when it’s denied? In the Greek countryside, tradition, patriarchy and myth weigh heavily, shaping a generation forced to mutate like skin between past and future. As desires persist and identities strain, how can we survive in a world not yet redefined?
