Strangers in their own birthplace, Danny and his older brother Odysseus cross the entire country in search of their Greek father, after their Albanian mother passes away.
Finding Easter themed movies for my 12 Days holiday posts can be a challenge. Sure, there are tons of Easter movie, but not so many on theme. (aka with scenes of male nudity.) This year when searching, 2014' Xenia came up. Now the film has nothing to with the Easter holiday, but it does have a cute little white bunny in a supporting role.
The Greek created Xenia stars actors Kostas Nikouli and Nikos Gelia as the brothers. Kostas character Dany is the younger brother and owns the the little white rabbit named Dido. Director Panos H. Koutras uses Dido in many ways throughout the movie. Dido initially serves as a symbol for Dany's youth and innocence. Dido is also a form of support for Dany's childhood trauma, and his vivid imagination.
The bunny acts as a surreal, magical-realist companion that transforms throughout the journey, representing both a comforting childhood plush toy and a larger-than-life hallucination. As the story progresses and Dany faces harsh realities, the rabbit changes, reflecting his transition from innocence toward a more complex maturity, appearing as a "gigantic" figment that eventually cannot be contained by the screen.
Along their journey the brothers land in several locations, including an old run-down abandoned building. It's there the nude scene occurs with a nude shower and an underwear dance. Although they play much younger, Nikouli would have been 19 or 20 during filming, and Gelia would have been 22 or 23. You can check out caps and video on THE NEXT PAGE HERE:
