Yannis, Christos and Lucas, three distinctive personalities between the ages of 40 and 60, are roommates in a controlled housing until in Amfissa, a city with a rich historical past that reaches all the way back to the very first Hellenes, the Locrians. Mentally disabled, they are under the direct supervision of the Society of Social Psychiatry and Mental Health, but they manage household issues on their own, which allows them the freedom to develop their own personal and professional lives.

All she wants is to get to know and understand them inside out, and they in turn repay her kindness by appearing in her movie. Isn’t that how love stories usually go?

I Am Divine

She left an indelible mark on celluloid with shocking appearances on films like ?Pink Flamingos? and ?Female Troubles?, while her larger-than-life persona challenged every perception of gender, beauty and sexual identity.
