GFF25 Super Paradise

Over the past 70 years, Mykonos has experienced transformations that test the limits of imagination: once it was dirt cheap, today it’s unaffordable; once it was “off the beaten track”, today it’s a top destination; once it was inclusive, today it’s exclusive. So, what happened? How did a tiny island become a melting pot for such radically divergent experiences? Was it once α paradise? Is it still? In this documentary the cinematic material is intercut with exclusive interviews, a mosaic of people of all ages from different walks of life – locals, internationals, intellectuals, artists, farmers, bar owners -– all offering their unique perspective on the Mykonos experience and providing a behind-the-scenes, intimate view of a complicated and fascinating island.
