The Plot
Set on the picturesque Ionian island of Paxos, Maestro in Blue tells the story of Orestis, a passionate musician who goes to the island to organize a local festival during the challenging times of the pandemic. While there, Orestis gets romantically involved with a young woman and becomes entwined in the lives of the tight-knit community.
As he navigates his newfound connections, he uncovers hidden personal struggles, grappling with issues like homophobia, domestic violence, and corruption. The peace of the island is shattered when a murder takes place, introducing a layer of suspense to this emotional and compelling tale.
Filmed against the breathtaking beauty of Paxos, with its aquamarine waters, pebbled shores, and lush landscapes, the island serves as a visual masterpiece, creating a setting that feels like a paradise for both the characters and the audience.
