Dionyssis Samiotis (2020 Iris Award, Best Feature Film, for the film “Eftihia”) has selected "Take Care" by Yorgos Tsemberopoulos as one of the Greek films that have inspired his work. The screening is part of the initiative "Open Cinema", a collaboration between Onassis Culture and the Hellenic Film Academy.

Synopsis

Seeing his dream to become a singer in the big city crumble, a young man will find a job at a butcher shop and inadvertently act as a catalyst in the life of three women. Small insignificant dramas played out every day without ever hitting the news. The setting is the archetypal "Athenian apartment", a futile test tube where needs, dreams, and passions stir.
