Aletheas’ thesis film, is about a remote Greek village that is threatened by extinction.

The village’s mayor, Kostas, is desperate to increase the town’s population because the local municipal government has recently threatened to take away basic services. Then one day a foreigner stumbles into town. As it turns out, he could prove to be the town’s salvation, if only he would stay. The film deals with issues of identity and friendship and highlights Greek ingenuity and hospitality.

“Alethea Avramis’ Greek background is obvious when watching The Foreigner. A filmmaker without her cultural diversity (American of Greek descent) could have never come up with something like this.  Everything, from the story, the cast, the language to the direction and camera work is a beautiful and smooth cultural collision that one enjoys watching for the perfect balance it has somehow achieved.”
