About 37 Days (2018) — A 23-Minute Comedy-Drama on Workplace Rebellion
Nikoleta Leousi's sharp short film 37 Days (2018) drops Maria, a young woman expecting her first child, into a world where pregnancy feels less like a blessing and more like an unpaid job. Freshly fired from her workplace, Maria refuses to accept the cruel bargain—return to the grind or lose her unborn child. With a biting sense of humor and a steady pulse on social realities, the 23-minute comedy-drama transforms workplace burnout into a rallying cry for bodily autonomy and self-worth.
Elli Tringou shines in the lead role, her Maria a modern Cassandra who realizes silence won't stop the tide. The ensemble—including Yannis Tsortekis and Katerina Lypiridou—grounds the satire in raw, human moments that linger long after the credits roll. Leousi crafts an atmosphere that's equal parts furious and tender, where a single punchline can cut deeper than any resignation letter.
