Venus in the Garden

Mid-summer heatwave. Nikos and Alain two male prostitutes and a female pimp Monica get tangled in a peculiar relationship after meeting in a dark street called POUTANA. They fall in love play with guns and talk about card games money and theatre castings. Is this a game of role playing the three of them have invented to pass their time in a remote empty summer house? Have they been reading Jean Genet? Whether a mirror image of the characters’ reality or an elliptic depiction of their distorted dream-like perception of it I Afroditi Stin Avli by juxtaposing disparate literary and art references leads its isolated characters towards dissolution. And yet in its strange language it presents this dissolution as a triumph.
