The Painter

The story

Danae, a young woman seeking human contact through a dating app, accepts the invitation of Akis, an older man, for their first date at his home. Akis is a painter and his art revolves around the female form. The evening unfolds calmly and charmingly; the two eat, talk, dance and indulge in a sense of intimacy that seems to gradually bring them closer. But behind the apparent peace of the house, something dark lurks. When Danae accidentally opens the wrong door, she is confronted with a terrifying image that turns everything upside down. Panicked, she tries to escape, while the night turns into a nightmare where the boundaries between desire, obsession and art begin to dissolve.
