"Kevezou: in the Pontic dialect, it means someone who talks a lot (chatterbox). Mrs. Parthena is indeed a chatterbox, a saleswoman, and a coffee shop owner with roots in Pontus and Kazakhstan. Passersby, neighbors, and friends all visit Mrs. Parthena's annual booth at the Panagia Soumela festival for advice, shopping, fortune-telling, jokes, and sweet talk. The film follows the kevzou, Mrs. Parthena, during the festival, while simultaneously observing the relationship that develops between the director and Parthena, who overcome (or not) their differences, exchanging experiences, opinions, and sometimes even glances."
The film was produced as part of @Eleusis2023 in collaboration with Εctype film and Eleusis, as a part of the project "Western States" with beloved friends Panagiotis Papaphragkos, Christiana Chiranagnostaki, Fani Bitou, George Kravaritis, and Pavlos Kosmidis.
