In a polluted, patriarchal city‑state dominated by an oil refinery, Gorgonà unfolds as a feminist dystopian thriller. Nikos, the ailing leader, disrupts tradition by naming his protégé Maria as a successor, triggering unrest. When Eleni, a mysterious bar singer, arrives, her presence ignites a radical transformation. Maria and Eleni’s bond becomes a rebellion—challenging oppressive power and creating space for female resistance. Reclaiming the Medusa myth as a symbol of feminine strength, the film confronts oppression with raw emotional and political force.. It’s a visceral love letter to action cinema through a distinctly feminist lens.
