“Hussies“ (Tsoulakia) is a coming-of-age story about two sisters living opposite lives, who need to make important decisions in a single night. In a frantic attempt to secure money, they come up against visions of both a traumatic past and a disturbing reality, while realizing how difficult it is for a family to make ends meet. In the discussion, director Despina Mavridou, screenwriter Kalliopi Arampatzi, and editor Photis Korosiadis will discuss the making of Tsoulakia from its inception as a student thesis project to its enthusiastic reception at the Drama International Film Festival.
