Icebergs

Synopsis

Icebergs is an existential, dark comedy consisting of 14 short vignettes, ranging from the mundane to the absurd. It is based on the book “Scenes” by Award-winning screenwriter Efthymis Filippou. Each vignette reveals the “tip of the iceberg”, while what lies beneath is left unknown. The film invites us to encounter the absurdity of the world as it is, when it has been stripped by prejudices and stabilizing assumptions lent to us by day to day routines.
