The Necessity of It is a story that searches for the inner strength that can elevate us from life’s most difficult times. Our protagonist Natalie, an American painter living on Crete in the 80s, is faced with such - she tries to continue her life after the abrupt end of her daughter’s.
Set in Crete’s heavenly nature, the film hopes to paint a timeless picture that harbors pain and strength. With Eudaemonism, it invites thoughts on life’s fulfilment.
