Bearcave (Arkoudotripa)

Synopsis

Following Argiro, a bad-ass farmer, and her best friend, Anneta, a manicurist and local “It” girl, who grew up in the same rural village in northern Greece. As Anneta prepares to leave for the city with her lame cop boyfriend, Argiro entices her to embark on one last adventure - a hike to the legendary, mystical bear cave that has fascinated them since childhood. What begins as a nostalgic journey soon spirals into a tense exploration of their friendship, as deep-seated secrets and betrayals surface. Confronted with their true feelings, Argiro and Anneta must decide whether they end up together.
