Amidst a scorching summer on the Greek island of Hydra, two women, Naomi and Samantha, encounter Faoud, a sleeping Syrian migrant, during a hike. Naomi, daughter of a wealthy art collector, persuades the American vacationer Samantha to assist Faoud. Their plan to help this stranger, however, spirals out of control, leading to dire consequences. 'Beautiful Animals' is a suspenseful narrative that delves into the complexities of friendship, manipulation, and the unintended pathways of good intentions. It's a story where the paradisiacal setting contrasts with the dark undertones of human nature, resonating with Graham Greene's moral explorations and Patricia Highsmith's psychological insights.
