About This Movie

59 Days is this intriguing mix of animation and documentary that really captures the essence of childhood during isolation. The film centers on three siblings—Stephanos, Dionisis, and Sotiris—who are stuck at home, navigating the oddity of a world turned upside down by a pandemic. It’s a raw glimpse into their daily lives, filled with innocent musings and a longing to connect. The animation adds a unique layer, giving us a visual diary that feels both intimate and universal. The pacing is contemplative, almost meditative, which might not sit right with everyone, but it perfectly reflects the slow passage of time in a confined space. It’s really about family, connection, and the little moments that shape us, making it stand out in the sea of pandemic narratives.
