Athina Rachel Tsangari and Richard Linklater first met in Austin, Texas – just before he made Slacker (1990), in which she appears briefly on screen. Over two decades later, Linklater was shooting the third instalment of his Before trilogy in Tsangari’s native Greece – and once again invited her to join the production. In After Before, Tsangari turns her camera on Linklater (injured leg, worn Criterion Collection T-shirt), Julie Delpy, and Ethan Hawke during what may be their final day inhabiting the roles of Céline and Jesse.

It has been nine years since we last met Jesse and Celine, the French-American couple who once met on a train in Vienna. They now live in Paris with twin daughters but have spent a summer in Greece at the invitation of an author colleague of Jesse's. When the vacation is over and Jesse must send his teenage son off to the States, he begins to question his life decisions, and his relationship with Celine is at risk.
