Sappho

 

Love is what is love

 

- “And? What comes next?”

- “It’s lost. We’ll never know.”

- “Perhaps we should decide for ourselves.”

Sappho is a provocative and passionate love story set in the 1920s, and inspired by the ancient love poems of Sappho of Lesbos.

Millionaire’s daughter Sappho Lovell arrives on the Greek island of Lesbos for her honeymoon with her artist husband Phil. There she meets Helene, the daughter of a Russian archaeologist, and she falls in love with her. As our three lovers live out a complex girl-boy-girl sexual triangle, Sappho also comes to believe that she is the reincarnation of the ancient poetess Sappho – that Sappho who first put the “lesbian” in Lesbos. However, our modern Sappho does realize how the ancient Sappho’s legend ends…

 

Sappho was a massive hit on its release in its home territory of Ukraine in March 2008, trebling the previous box-office record for a Ukrainian movie! Sappho is now awaiting release in other territories.
