"Get some rest." Weird Wave from Greece has debuted the first look teaser for the
indie film titled
Sea of Glass, a Greek thriller about two women connecting. The film is a co-production between Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria and will be premiering next month at the
2026 Edinburgh Film Festival. The story follows 65-year-old Vangelio who goes on holiday after her husband's death and meets Vicky, a young woman caring for her alcoholic father. When Vangelio protects Vicky from her father's violence, chaos erupts in the Greek seaside town. The film "grafts elements from the rural gothic noir tradition and road movies onto the contemporary iconography of the Greek countryside." Inspired by films like
Thelma & Louise and
The Postman Always Rings Twice. "What connects them and poisons both their lives is domestic violence and oppression. But they are also linked by a common goal: the need to break free and find themselves," explains the director. The Greek film features
Christiana Matelska Toka,
Evangelia Andreadaki,
Michalis Iatropoulos,
Dimitris Tzoumakis,
Nikos Georgakis, &
Thanos Tokakis. As seen, it also boats some really powerful cinematography by DP Simos Sarketzis capturing the unique Greek landscape. Keep an eye out for this one. //
