Ciné-Club Hellénique
Synopsis:
Under the scorching sun of a Greek island, the entertainers of an all-inclusive hotel led by the charismatic Kalia prepare for the season. Cardboard sets, glittery costumes, and dance performances take over the stage. As summer progresses, the pressure mounts, the nights pile up, and Kalia's demons awaken. When the spotlight comes on, the show must go on... but does it still make sense for her?

Real Exposition Human Bodies Exhibition
This anatomical exhibition presents an extensive, scientifically valuable collection of educationally prepared anatomical specimens. It consists of preserved real human bodies, skeletons, limbs, organs, and organ blocks, conveying medical knowledge and unique impressions to interested visitors.
The bodies, body parts, and organs come from body donors and are permanently preserved using the so-called plastination technique.
Out of respect for the deceased and the purpose of body donation, all bodies and organs are displayed exclusively in medical poses. The primary focus is on imparting knowledge through real human exhibits, presented in-depth and comprehensively.
Date: 16, 17, 18, 19 October.
