Log Line

At the dystopian workplace of the Perama shipyards, a ban on physical contact has turned human interaction into otherworldly simulations. The suppression of touch has alienated the workers' communication transforming the boatyard into a charged landscape of alienation and repressed sensuality beyond stereotypical heteronormative desires. According to local legend, the Persian King Xerxes watched the overwhelming defeat of his fleet from his throne on the rocky peaks of Mount Egaleo, in today’s Perama.
