Wiki.
Xenia (Greek: Ξενία lit. xenia) is a 2014 drama film directed by Panos H. Koutras. It was selected to compete in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, and in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. It was the Greek entry for the Best Foreign Language Film award at the 88th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated. Xenia has won six awards from the Hellenic Film Academy. At the award ceremony, Koutras refused to receive two of them (for the best script and the best director) until the law on granting Greek citizenship to second-generation immigrants is changed.
Main characters in the film are fans of Italian singer Patty Pravo, who makes a cameo appearance as herself towards the end of the story. The film features three songs from Pravo's repertoire: "Sentimento", "Tutt'al più", and "La bambola".
