Tender Love (2008)

35mm, Colour (15')

Michel, a 45-year old acclaimed director, a cynic, is preparing his new film “Romeo and Juliet”, starring Aggeliki, a relatively unknown 27-year old actress who is his girlfriend. Michel intends to make this his most ambitious film, not only because Romeo will be digitally portrayed, but as he is also planning to kill Juliet in the middle of the film, doing a full turnaround from Shakespeare. According to him, the theme of the play is an illusion. However, when digital Romeo comes out of the film to make contact with Aggeliki, who is romantically disappointed, she will face what she is looking for, but she will also face herself.
