Afterlife of the Party: An Exploration of Female Friendship
Netflix's Afterlife of the Party might fall into the rom-com genre, but it's much more about grief, strong female friendships, and platonic love than it is about romance.
Επικίνδυνοι Πολίτες
Mitsos is a 25 year old, part time delivery guy whose life is a balancing act between living with his parents and time spent on the streets. His violent father, repressed mother and the wear and tear of everyday life have made him aloof and apathetic. After finishing work, Mitsos goes out for one last deal but a last minute stop by his parents' place turns him into the witness of a fateful event. A backpack, an elevator that gets stuck and the kitsch painting of a mountain mark the turning point that reminds him, right before fate takes over, that not making a choice, is itself a choice.
