A group of men are out fishing on a luxury yacht in the middle of the Aegean Sea. They encounter a mechanical problem during their voyage and decide to play a game amongst themselves until the problem is fixed. Based on testing one another on any subject, the game soon turns into a merciless struggle which before long makes them question how perfect they really are. Athina Rachel Tsangari, a prominent director of the Greek New Wave cinema, succeeds in making one of the most entertaining films of the year by approaching the myth of manhood in her distinctive style. After its world premiere at the 68^th Locarno Film Festival, the film was selected as the Greek entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 89^th Academy Awards.
