“You said you don’t feel Greek. Home is where you want it to be.”

Mari is both Greek and English but never quite understood her late mum, Katerina, who was raised in a very different context, Greece. Through fragmented flashbacks, obscure spiritual practices, and vivid Greek traditions, Mari’s journey of mourning unfolds.

Blending dark comedy with surrealism, Hands On explores generational divides, migration, and the lingering echoes of trauma. It’s a heartfelt exploration about the ones who leave, the ones left behind, and what it means to belong; to a place, a culture, and to the people who shape us.
