TEDDY BEAR (2020) / short film
A man returns to Athens and settles into a new flat, where quiet days unfold in solitude. Surrounded by the stillness of the city and the emptiness of his space, he begins to confront the echo of a love left behind. Through tender voice messages never sent, he speaks to the man he once loved — fragments of affection, regret, and longing that fill the silence of his days.
Homecoming is a poetic exploration of absence, capturing the emotional residue of a relationship that still lingers. With minimal dialogue and a focus on atmosphere, the film gently unpacks the weight of memory and the quiet ache of trying to move on — when part of you still hasn’t.
