Aeneas, a Greek dancer, is struggling with a sense of worthlessness and anxiety. When he is paired with Alex, a visiting Greek-American dancer, for his dance thesis, the two young men find a connection that goes beyond their art. The intoxicating power of physical discovery and a shared love of Hellenic culture and New York City are vividly revealed in a love story played out through music and movement. An intimate tale about the beauty that lies within us all and the transformative power of self-love.

Shadows on the Wall

A lyrical drama about two dancers, this Greek film is infused with body movement that's photographed with a lovely sense of sunlight, bodies and musicality. While the plot is fairly simple, the way the story is told is sensitive and sensual.

Rated: 4/5

The Pink Lens

As an unabashed and unashamed piece of homoeroticism, this delivers in spades. Just don’t kid yourself that you need to watch it with the sound on.

Rated: 3/5

[Aligned] is all about beauty, from the remarkably attractive lead performers to the postcard-perfect landscapes to the graceful movements of the dance students.

Rated: 7/10

As a story it is only partially satisfying, even though the main characters endeavour to have you think otherwise.

Rated: 2.5/5
