Moral Rules

Moral Rules is an adaptation of Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening. The adaptation takes place in Greece where we follow some days of the lives of two boys currently on the last year of a strict religious school. As they uncover their mutual attraction and explore their sexuality. The characters of the play display elements that potentially belong to each one of us, from sexual curiosity and promiscuity to fear towards the unknown, and from superficial communication to moral hypocrisy. The story takes place in 7 acts in a form of a cinematic theater play.

Directed by Thodoris Vournas, Moral Rules leans on a strong ensemble — Konstantinos Elmatzioglou, Giannis Itsios, Evgenia Xygorou — 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 comedy titles of 2020.
