More about the plot:

''Specifically, the CineMart committee stated that it chose to support and enhance “a metaphysical drama with two unexpected female characters at its center, who struggle for freedom and their identity, in a unique and sleek industrial landscape.” ...''Gorgona” follows the story of two women who fall in love and struggle to escape the constraints of a dystopian patriarchal society." (source: onassis.org)

''A dystopian drama set in an oil refinery in the uber-industrialized Greek heartland, Gorgona tells the story of two working-class women, Maria and Eleni, fighting for their freedom and identity. In a devastated landscape, where all the men patrol through town day and night, armed, the Greek goddess and contemporary witch Maria, with her free-flowing sensuality, proves increasingly threatening.

...the ever-present scorching sun calls to mind the exhaustion of the working class and allows the camera to film these bodies up close. Keeping the oil refinery and the dusty, devastated landscape in the backdrop, the film will use some of the conventions of western movies - such as static wide angle shots - to convey inertia and isolation. In this somewhat post-apocalyptic dystopia inspired by Mad Max: Fury Road, the two rebellious female leads push back the threat of patriarchal tyranny in the hope to free themselves from oppression and frustration. Evi’s films provide these vital tools in a bitter fight against this coercive feeling". (source: pro.festivalscope.com)

A greek movie site went to visit the set of the movie, on the last days of their filming back in July 2024. It's in greek but you can translate it any way you want. It has a lot of set photos and director/actors explain more about it.
