Junior MasterChef taken to the extreme…

The first thriller-drama from a filmmaker celebrated by Greek audiences for her comedies, Marjoram shines a revealing, psychological light into the dark corners of a mother-daughter relationship.

Eleven year-old overachiever Anna (Maria Riskaki) is driven by being the perfect daughter and impressing her demanding mother (Natalia Dragoumi). Anna’s ambition sees her enter a TV cooking competition, however, it’s not long before she starts behaving strangely, puzzling her parents and prompting concerns for her safety. Why is this child, who seems so happy, acting so unpredictable?

Marjoram nearly became a casualty of Greece’s economic volatility with its director, Olga Malea, having to pick up the production tab after funding was withdrawn.

“Avoids easy solutions to the serious problems it examines.” Museum of the Moving Image, New York

About the Director:
After a PhD in Psychology at Yale, Olga Malea returned to Greece to pursue film directing. From 1997 until 2007, she wrote and directed five feature films, all highly successful films in Greece: The Cow's Orgasm (1997), The Mating Game (1999), Risotto (2000), Honey & The Pig (2005), First Time Godfather (2007).
