A boy grows without his father, who has gone missing in July 1974 during the Turkish invasion in Cyprus. He cannot mourn, he is not considered an orphan, all family and friends are all over him trying to make up for his father's absence. But the bullet that killed his father lies within.
On his wedding day, and at the age of 35, his father's relics are found and identified. Is this salvation and relief? Or just the bullet moves deeper within? A 35-year old son is asked to finally bury his 27-year old father. A must see for people who wish to know what happened in Cyprus in 1974. A heartache for Cypriots and Greeks who will watch it.

The paradox of the Cyprus issue
5 February 2020
Is it an invasion or a war? Or maybe a peace operation? Is a settler who was born in Cyprus a legitimate citizen or a "war crime"? And is a settler allowed to cross the line or not? Is it a border or is it the green line? Or is it a cease of fire line? Is it TRNC or a pseudo-state? Living stock is not allowed to cross from north to south, but what about flying birds? What about cats and reptiles? The insanity that all inhabitants of this island have to live with, the corruption on both sides, the emblematic occupation symbols, the inefficiency of guarding the cease of fire line, the secret crossings. All sides involved have been unable to change the fiasco created in Cyprus, thus the escape goat is Jimi, the dog. If you have never been to Cyprus, this is your chance! If you live on the island, this movie will be disturbing enough to make you realize how close to each other and how far we all live at the same time.

This is the dock where I left my ship
12 January 2015
This is the story between two lovers; a sailor, Simon, and a student, François. It unfolds with suspicion of something being wrong from the beginning. Both male actors extend their skills and good looks to keep you nailed on your seat, while the complementing part of François' mother adds to the suspense of the plot. What remains to be revealed towards the end of this short film is the dock where Simon has left his ship. According to what he tells François, he's been given the best gift ever. Beautiful camera angles, memorable acting by all involved, incredible photography at the beach. Thumbs up for director Pascal Latil! 9/10
