Desert Sky / 1997

The few survivors of a deserted city, sometime in the near future, are left with no water or food but somehow manage to survive. In a hospital, a lonely scientist, Foteini, is helping a patient with amnesia to recover. She also meets an actor named Aias (Ajax) – who often visits his sick sister – and becomes romantically involved with him. Foteini is swept away by love; Aias, however, is unprepared for such strong emotions. Their separation brings Foteini to the house of the amnesiac, and he takes care of her, up to the moment that she discovers a photo of hers among his things. In the meantime, Aias brings his sister back home from the hospital. While it is getting darker, with clouds gathering in the sky, Foteini and Aias wander the city and meet in the rain.

Il vecchio mulino / 19377.311 voti

In una campagna è il crepuscolo e le vacche si apprestano ad uscire da un mulino e a rientrare nella stalla. Dentro l'edificio è in rovina e lasciato al più completo stato di abbandono.

Sopraggiungono le tenebre e la zona è immersa nella più totale quiete: le rane gracchiano, le lucciole svolazzano tra i canneti e i grilli cantano allegramente. Quando all'improvviso comincia ad alzarsi il vento: tutti i piccoli animali corrono a rifugiarsi mentre il mulino è scosso da violente folate. La tempesta comincia a farsi sentire con dei rimbombi di tuoni in lontananza e una forte raffica di vento fa spezzare i brandelli della corda che teneva bloccato il meccanismo, facendolo muovere...
