Yannis (2022)
Yannis, a first-generation Greek/Lebanese Australian teenager has been rejected by his family for being gay and now lives under a bridge, working the local beats as a sex-worker. Omar, his best friend, once in the same situation as Yannis, is now determined to better his life and begins to pull away. A portrait of culture, sexuality and isolation asks; where do we find refuge when the world seems to have forgotten us?
