He started by making plays, like putting on shows in a theater, and then he decided to make movies. His movies are like puzzles that you get to solve as you watch them!

Yorgos started his movie adventures by making films that were a bit like funny, strange dreams. One of his first big hits was a movie called 'Dogtooth.' It was about a family who lived in a very unusual way. This movie was so special that it even got nominated for a big award!

Then, he started making movies in English, like 'The Lobster,' where people had to find a partner or turn into an animal. How funny is that?
