Moon, 66 Questions (el|Selini, 66 erotiseis) is a French-Greek drama film, directed by Jacqueline Lentzou and released in 2021.[1] The film stars Sofia Kokkali as Artemis, a young woman who is forced to care for her estranged father Paris (Lazaros Georgakopoulos) after he suffers a debilitating illness,[2] with their fractured relationship taking a turn toward healing when she discovers that her father has spent his life in the closet about being gay.[3]
Lentzou described the film as inspired by a desire to explore the reverse of the more common story of parents reacting to a child coming out as gay.[3]
The film premiered in March 2021 at the Vilnius International Film Festival in the European Debut competition for first-time filmmakers.[4] It was later screened in the Encounters program at the 71st Berlin International Film Festival.[5]
The film won the Golden Puffin award at the 2021 Reykjavík International Film Festival.[6] Kokkali won the award for best actress in the international film slate at the 2021 Festival du nouveau cinéma.[7]
