Overview

Soul and Flesh follows Petros Rallis, a seasoned Greek airline pilot who believes his marriage to Ellie is unshakeable—until an alluring passenger named May steps onto his flight. Petros, who has never strayed, suddenly finds himself enthralled by May’s charm, leading him to deceive his wife for the first time. The film uses this encounter to explore the thin line between love and desire, as well as the vulnerability of trust in intimate relationships. With a backdrop of 1970s Athens and the confined world of commercial aviation, Soul and Flesh delves into the emotional turbulence that arises when the soul’s longing for connection collides with the body's temptations.
