NATURA

Christos, 40, is still afraid of coming out to his mother. His controlling partner Emir leaves him, arguing this fear is holding them back. When Christos finds his mother lost in town as her dementia worsens, he realizes time is running out. Convinced coming out will win Emir back, he joins his family on holiday at a resort. But his siblings urge him to stay silent, and when his mother mocks a gay couple, Christos shuts down. Emir appears, reviving hope of reconciliation, but as intimacy becomes another test, Christos realizes nothing will ever be enough for Emir. A violent fight between Christos and his brother ends with their confused mother slapping Christos across the face. But the family eats dinner together as if nothing happened. The next morning, Christos finds his mother alone in the hotel garden, hugs her goodbye, and leaves.
