Tourists lie carelessly on the beach while the island is caught in flames. In her short film Greetings from Rhodes, director Viera Čákanyová reveals our talent for ignoring crises with irony and a hint of kitsch. Realistic comments from holidaymakers and glossy advertisements from travel agencies complement this tragicomic scene and invite the audience to think – how far will we go to maintain the illusion?
