Alpeis, Greece/USA/France/Canada 2011
Under the name «The Alps» two men and two women offer an unusual service: they offer themselves as placeholders, live in foreign houses, wear the clothes of dead people and reenact memories for people who are missing lost loved ones. Throughout, they follow a series of strict rules, above all: no emotional or intimate attachments. « A deadpan, absurdist ghost story of sorts from the ingenious Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos.» (The Guardian)
