In the past decade, Greek cinema has made an extraordinary international breakthrough, and Slovenia is now part of the so-called Greek Weird Wave through a minority co-production. With its narrative ambiguity, Apples is on a par with the pivotal works of this wave, while the bold visual and narrative methods employed by the director Christos Nikou go deep into the core of the human pursuit of one’s own identity.

Sadeži pozabe je grenko-sladka, z nekaj prefinjenimi zamahi absurda v suvereno celoto oblikovana zgodba o brisanju in pisanju bolečih osebnih spominov, ki jo lahko beremo tudi kot aktualno parabolo o prostovoljni družbeni amneziji. Film se odvrti v spiralnih gibih, kakor jabolko, ki ga lupi njegov protagonist, tako da na koncu sadež pozabe kot jabolko spora pade z drevesa spoznanja – v gledalčevo naročje.

From the very first scenes of Apples, its soundtrack takes the viewer into the inner world of the protagonist and locks them into his emotional states until the very end, making their experience of the film an emotional journey. The sound allows for narration beyond words and cinematography, thus representing a crucial aspect of this remarkable work.
