SYNOPSIS<\/h5>

A wealthy member of the upper class and his three sons withdraw\nto a country villa where they spend their days in complete idleness,\nhaving everything done for them by their young and beautiful maid.\nThey give themselves over to the macabre pleasure of sleep, while\n\nidleness permeates the tiny world of these living dead, with the exception of the woman, who is the sole representative of positive values, will-power and action. The gradual yet steady decay borders on\n\ndecomposition and total destruction, as even fundamental biological\n\nneeds decline. Finally, the youngest son tries to break free, his temporary awakening ending in the arms of the maid, yet the possibility of some further attempt survives. In this allegorical satire the\n\nmonumental immobility leads to corresponding formalistic choices.\nDistant echoes of Bunuel (\u201cThe Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie)\nand of Ferreri (\u201cLa Grande Boutte\u201d) meet surrealistic disposition and\nsocial symbolism.<\/p>

The film is in French and will be screened in a restored digital copy (DCP), created in 2014 by KG Productions with the support of CNC, with English and Greek subtitles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
