The Beast Asleep(2017)

The Beast Asleep is a science-fiction drama set in a dying world where humanity has ceased to reproduce. Varsanouphios, a solitary man living in this bleak future, is matched with Ploumi through an arranged marriage—a last-ditch effort to save the species from extinction. What begins as a contractual union transforms into something deeper as the two strangers navigate their forced proximity and discover unexpected connection. The film explores themes of isolation, survival, and whether love can flourish when the stakes are nothing less than humanity's future. Against the backdrop of a world on the brink of collapse, their relationship becomes both a personal journey and a symbol of hope for a species running out of time.
