The struggles of Orfeas, the first gay prime minister of Greece, against a history of oppression in the “land of heroes”. The first queer opera in Greek is a post-modern sci-fi experimental work, oscillating between baroque melodrama, DIY collage, post-internet and VR/AI aesthetics. The film is dedicated to the memory of activist Zackie Oh!
