Tariq, a 26-year-old Syrian refugee, comes to Greece with a special passion to express himself and communicate his thoughts and ideas through rap music. His past hardships in Syria, before and after the war, as well as his journey in search of a better life, make him an active participant in shaping modern history. During his stay in Greece, his interest and direct involvement in the common good through his role as a translator make him especially loved. We follow his personal struggle for artistic creation, but also his interactions with other refugees he comes in contact with and helps. Perhaps his involvement with art will make the journey to Ithaca more bearable?

Genre: Dystopian
A short dystopian film set in a bleak future where Christ has become a capitalist superstar. People worship and consume “Space Jesus” through products like junk food, music, and pills, turning spirituality into a marketable commodity. The story follows a young woman living in this oppressive city, disillusioned by the hollow consumerism around her. She saves her earnings to purchase the ultimate “Space Jesus Experience,” a package promising a direct encounter with the divine. As she consumes the product, the film transforms into a surreal visual trip, blending psychedelic imagery with critiques of capitalism and religion. The film’s striking visuals and experimental tone create a thought-provoking commentary on modern consumer culture.
