The Summer with Carmen will arrive in cinemas on February 28.
Get ready for The Summer with Carmen– a tail-wagging tale of friendship, filmmaking, and four-legged chaos!
In this sexy, sun-drenched comedy from director Zacharias Mavroeidis, besties Demos and Nikitas are about to embark on the most meta movie adventure ever. Picture this: they’re making a film about the summer that turned their lives upside down – you know, the one where Demos’ boyfriend Panos dropped a bombshell, ending their four-year relationship, somehow leaving Demos and agreeing to co-parent his dog called Carmen.
As our dynamic duo dive into writing their masterpiece, brainstorming ideas for the screenplay, the story bounces between past and present like an excited puppy chasing its tail. Beneath all the laughs and chaos, there’s a joyous exploration of what it means to be a modern gay man in The Summer with Carmen – from dating dilemmas to the pressure of fitting into society’s neat little boxes.
Through their creative journey, Demos and Nikitas discover that sometimes the best love stories aren’t romantic at all – they’re about the ride-or-die friendships that keep us sane and the four-legged friends who turn our lives into beautiful mayhem.
