Powerhouse movie couple Lizz Njagah and Alexandros Konstantaras's latest movie The Return of Lazarus is going to feature in the 21st Chichester International Film Festival. The Return of Lazarus which is the first feature film Alexandros shot in Greece will be screened at the biggest and most prestigious film festival celebration of global films in September.

The film shot last year is about brothers, Lazarus (Alexandros Koch) and Kiriakos (Nelson Lucas). They set out on a road trip in Maronia, Northern Greece, in order to find the mythical cave of the Cyclops where King Maron used to hide his wine. According to the myth if you drink from this wine you gain the gift of eternal youth. Kiriakos wants to become young again in order to rejoin the Boy Scouts after they expelled him recently for life.

Lazarus is trying to find himself after losing his job, his house while he still hopes to bring back his divorced wife, whom he still loves. On their journey they meet different people including King’ora (Lizz NJagah), a Kenyan woman who works in a local hotel. Very soon sparks begin to fly between her and Kiriakos. The movie will soon be out for the Kenyan market.
