Foreign Blood (2026)

Nestled against the Aegean coast of Zakynthos, Dennis has spent his late fifties cultivating a peaceful routine, managing a neighborhood tavern with Vera, his devoted Bulgarian companion, and her twenty-year-old son, Alex—a young man Dennis cherishes as family. That tranquil rhythm fractures on a freezing evening when Alex loses control while giving an enigmatic traveler a lift, resulting in a severe collision. Rushing the injured stranger to emergency care, Dennis uncovers a life-altering revelation: the patient is the daughter he walked away from years ago. As the young woman’s health spirals downward and Alex slips into the shadows, Dennis stands at a devastating crossroads. Buried regrets surface as he battles to reconcile old wounds, forced to decide whether to shield the youth who shaped his daily life or honor the demands of morality and law.
