A Pure Place

Show Trailer

On a remote Greek island, dirt is sin – and soap is salvation. In a cult obsessed with cleanliness, two siblings grow up between rituals, rules, and rebellion. When 15-year-old Irina is chosen to join the upper ranks of the community, her younger brother Paul is left behind, until he decides to fight back.

A PURE PLACE by award-winning director Nikias Chryssos (The Bunker), is a darkly funny and poetic tale. With cinematography by Yoshi Heimrath (Berlin Alexanderplatz) and a haunting score by European Film Award winner John Gürtler (System Crasher).
