This expansive documentary chronicles 40-plus years of lesbian identity and conflict between visitors and locals on a small village on the Greek island of Lesvos

Description

Since the 1970s, lesbians from around the world have been drawn to the Greek island of Lesvos, birthplace of the ancient Greek poet Sappho. Chronicling 40-plus years of lesbian communion, this expansive documentary reveals that what once seemed like paradise is actually simmering with tensions between the visitors and the local residents. With both groups claiming ownership of lesbian identity, filmmaker Tzeli Hadjidimitriou—a Lesvos native and lesbian herself—finds herself caught in the middle, exploring this liminal space to work through four decades of love, community, conflict and what it means to feel accepted.
