Vangelis, a remnant of the rave party generation of the late 90s, sells weed for a living. Wants a steady job, no risks involved. Petros, a small-time gangster. Wants a family. Demands respect. Katerina unwillingly brings them together under the same roof.

DOCUMENTARY - CLOSING NIGHT + AFTER PARTY
STRAY BODIES
Robin is pregnant, but does not wish to become a mother. Katerina is not able to have a child, even though she wants to. Kiki's sole desire is to end her life with dignity. Unfortunately, abortion, in vitro fertilization and euthanasia are not legal in their respective countries. Stray Bodies explores the notion of body autonomy within Europe, a place where you are allowed to travel, work and consume freely, but not necessarily to live or die according to your wishes.
