Riza 2026

Directed by Yiannis Maipas

In an apartment, a man tends to a tree with quiet devotion. He waters it, he cleans it. The tree forgets, he remembers. An allegory about love turning into duty, care becoming a prison, and the quiet, delicate line between offering and losing oneself. The film tells the story of a man caring for his mother with dementia, a silent struggle between fading memory and enduring love.
