Which 2011 Greek film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos is titled Alps?

The story behind the answer

Yorgos Lanthimos directed the 2011 Greek film Alps. The title refers to a group whose members impersonate deceased people for grieving families, and it is not a direct adaptation of the Pandora myth.

The film’s premise explores mourning, identity, role-playing, and the emotional consequences of replacing someone who has died. Its unusual title and austere style can make it easy to confuse with Lanthimos’s other internationally known films.

Alps followed Lanthimos’s Dogtooth and preceded later English-language projects such as The Lobster. It premiered at the 68th Venice International Film Festival, where it received the Osella Award for Best Screenplay.

This question belongs to the wider Pandora-themed culture category only through the batch’s adaptation focus, not because the film retells Pandora. The title does not contain Pandora, so the answer is the film’s canonical one-word title.
