Loxy – by Thanasis Kafetzis & Dimitris Zahos

Loxandra, a young woman with Down syndrome, becomes the first disabled person to sign an acting contract with the National Theater of Greece. She leaves her city and her familiar everyday life and travels to Athens to become a member of the group of professional actors. For the next 6 months, Loxy goes to rehearsals and makes friends, falls in love, has fun, gets frustrated and continues to claim accessibility again and again, breaking one stereotype at a time.
