Desert Sky

In a near-future deserted city without food or water, the few remaining inhabitants cling to memory, hope, and the anticipation of deliverance. Foteini, a lonely scientist, is drawn to an actor named Aias, who is visiting his sister in the hospital. Simultaneously, Foteini is treating an amnesiac patient, and her growing bond with him uncovers a mysterious and personal connection.

Directed by Nikos Kornilios, Desert Sky leans on a strong ensemble — Iris Chatziantoniou, Akyllas Karazisis, Arto Apartian — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1997.
