A refreshing, thrilling and oddball take on modern female identity that’s brought to life by a star-making performance from Ariane Labed.

Set in a seaside Greek town, Attenberg follows Marina (Ariane Labed), a twenty-something woman who lives with her terminally ill father Spyros (Vangelis Mourikis). Naive and inexperienced when it comes to many aspects of life – sex, interpersonal relationships, adulthood – she’s nonetheless desperately curious.

Marina attempts to scratch that curiosity itch through wildlife documentaries, but they aren’t quite as good as the real thing. So, she finds a mentor in her friend Bella (Evangelia Randou) who helps shepherd Marina into a new stage of life as Spyros’ is ending.

Attenberg premiered at the 67th Venice International Film Festival, where it won two awards and was nominated for the Golden Lion.

Part of the film's success comes from Labed's performance as Marina, who infuses all that weirdness with a barely there vulnerability.
