Set against the stunning Greek isles, Alex Burunova's debut feature SATISFACTION is a nuanced psychological drama that unravels the fragile bond between British composers Lola (Emma Laird) and Philip (Fionn Whitehead). Their relationship lingers in silence as Lola struggles to reclaim her voice. Weaving between their present-day trip to a remote Greek island and the start of their romance at a London music school, the film slowly reveals an unspoken rift. When Lola meets the magnetic Elena (Zar Amir) on a nudist beach and invites her into their world, tensions escalate, forcing Lola to confront the darkest part of her past.
