My Cousin’s Wedding movie details

Story without spoilers

The film follows a girl’s coming-of-age as it emerges from an old wedding video. Rather than presenting her memories as one uninterrupted account, My Cousin’s Wedding assembles them from pieces of family life in provincial Greece during the 2000s.

The footage begins with wedding festivities before the ceremony and continues through the couple’s departure from the church. Alongside these recordings are contemporary images of the protagonist as an adult, creating a connection between the family event preserved on tape and the life that follows it.

What to expect

My Cousin’s Wedding combines drama and comedy with a found-footage premise. The wedding videotape provides the film’s central framework, while the movement between childhood memories and the protagonist’s adult self gives the short a fragmented, retrospective form.

The setting is family life in provincial Greece during the 2000s, and the story unfolds around a wedding rather than a broader public event. At 18 minutes, it offers a compact portrait of memory, growing up and the way a family recording can preserve a particular moment in time.
