Lesvia

Hellas – 2023

Synopsis

Since the 1970s, lesbians from around the world have been drawn to the island of Lesvos and the small village of Eressos, birthplace of the ancient Greek poet Sappho. When they find paradise in a local village and carve out their own lesbian community, tensions start to simmer with the local residents.
With both groups claiming ownership of lesbian identity, filmmaker Tzeli Hadjidimitriou – a native and lesbian herself – is caught in the middle and chronicles 40+ years of love, community, conflict, and what it means to feel accepted.
