--- Quote ---Australian-helmed film The Aegean wraps production in Greece
The film tells the story of Hector, a widowed Greek fisherman who grapples with ageing in a world that seems to have forgotten him. His life takes a dramatic turn when he encounters Theodore, a resourceful and optimistic teenager in desperate need of a savior. United by their struggles, they embark across the Aegean Sea, discovering newfound purpose and the redemptive power of friendship.
The film was shot on the tiny and lesser-known Greek island of Kythira. According to Richardson, Kythira offered ‘a stunning, natural backdrop’ for the film, in contrast to more developed Greek islands like Mykonos and Santorini.

In “Two Tickets to Greece,” Blandine (Olivia Côte), a depressed and divorced Frenchwoman, is pushed by her son to take a Hellenic excursion with Magalie (Laure Calamy), the middle-school best friend she lost touch with decades earlier. Magalie, now a free-spirited, impulsive music journalist, can find fun anywhere. Blandine, a buttoned-up radiology technician embittered by her ex-husband’s remarriage, seems incapable of experiencing fun at all.
