They chose it because it represents Greece’s nationalism, the worship of antiquity, patriarchy, mass culture and commercialization. The choice of the Acropolis as a filming location for their film’s sex scene was a deliberate one, according to the directors. We will be living eros and sexuality just as we wish and we will be defending the public existence and coexistence of all sexualities.” “Let this small gesture be a voice saying that nobody is alone. “From children – usually boys – that cannot find a single safe space, when their classmates decide that they are faggots, to people being beaten, marginalized or even stabbed with knives, which are things that many suffer from, especially groups such as trans women. “Some of us face physical and verbal violence because of our choices and expressions on sexuality, while we know that other people are killed or imprisoned as well because they have what is called by some as abnormal sexuality.
