In James Prineas’ new quirky comedy, Lost on Kythera, Aphrodite and her assistant Hymeros (played by A-List Greek actors Danae Mikalaki and Georgos Papageorgiou) make sure of it, especially when archaeologist Nancy Filodoxopoulos and her university assistant, Benson, start poking around the island’s ruins in search of Aphrodite’s famous lost temple. As Aphrodite watches them grow ever more earnest in their quest, she is forced to use all her godly powers to keep her sacred temple invisible. 

  The temple-hunters aren’t the only ones to get caught up in the island’s many secrets. Young lovers Louie and Maria arrive on the island for a romantic getaway, only to be plunged into a comic mystery of their own. Abandoned in a deserted village by Kythera’s famous Blind Taxi Driver, the couple must scramble to find their way out of a labyrinth in which all paths lead back to the same place. Their hopes of an escape are raised when they encounter the village’s sole inhabitant Aliki Mavromattis (Greek theatre icon Efi Stamouli), then complicated when her offers of help seem more like macabre goose chases.

  Στη νέα ιδιότυπη κωμωδία του James Prineas, Lost on Kythera, η Αφροδίτη και ο βοηθός της Ύμερος (τους οποίους υποδύονται οι Έλληνες ηθοποιοί Α-List Δανάη Μιχαλάκη και Γιώργος Παπαγεωργίου) φροντίζουν γι' αυτό, ειδικά όταν η αρχαιολόγος Νάνσυ Φιλοδοξοπούλου και ο πανεπιστημιακός βοηθός της, Μπένσον, αρχίζουν να ψάχνουν στα ερείπια του νησιού αναζητώντας τον περίφημο χαμένο ναό της Αφροδίτης. Καθώς η Αφροδίτη τους παρακολουθεί να γίνονται όλο και πιο σοβαροί στην αναζήτησή τους, αναγκάζεται να χρησιμοποιήσει όλες τις θεϊκές της δυνάμεις για να κρατήσει τον ιερό της ναό αόρατο. 

  Οι κυνηγοί του ναού δεν είναι οι μόνοι που παγιδεύονται στα πολλά μυστικά του νησιού. Οι νεαροί εραστές Λούι και Μαρία φτάνουν στο νησί για μια ρομαντική απόδραση, μόνο και μόνο για να βυθιστούν σε ένα δικό τους κωμικό μυστήριο. Εγκαταλελειμμένοι σε ένα εγκαταλελειμμένο χωριό από τον περίφημο τυφλό ταξιτζή των Κυθήρων, το ζευγάρι πρέπει να παλέψει για να βρει το δρόμο του έξω από έναν λαβύρινθο στον οποίο όλα τα μονοπάτια οδηγούν πίσω στο ίδιο μέρος. Οι ελπίδες τους για απόδραση αναπτερώνονται όταν συναντούν τη μοναδική κάτοικο του χωριού Αλίκη Μαυρομάτη (το είδωλο του ελληνικού θεάτρου Έφη Σταμούλη), και στη συνέχεια περιπλέκονται όταν οι προσφορές της για βοήθεια μοιάζουν περισσότερο με μακάβριο κυνήγι χήνας.
