Marie (2019)
A young lonely student moves into a cheap terrace room in downtown Athens. Marie, a young African woman lives in the same building, and in the eyes of the young man she represents everything he hates: she’s lazy, vulgar, stupid, foreigner.

When Marie finds herself in a dangerous situation, the young man faces the dilemma whether to act or remain an observer.
