MORFI (2025)
For two years, Louisa Vergozisi films her father Vangelis, who lives alone in Morfi, a small place in Greece where she grew up before moving to the Netherlands. It is also the place where they once lived together as a happy family.
Vangelis, an apple farmer who inherited his work from his father, remains deeply connected to the land, even as it becomes increasingly difficult to sustain. Faced with extreme heat, unpredictable hailstorms and failed harvests, he confronts the growing challenges of climate change and the absence of government support. Beyond the apple fields, he quietly carries the daily weight of his solitary life: cooking, tending the house and doing the laundry, in a rhythm that mirrors the seasons around him.
Throughout this film, the relationship between father and daughter unfolds, along with their shared bond to the land that shaped his life. Morfiis an intimate portrait of resilience, memory and the quiet ties between people and place.
