Behind the Haystacks (Greek: Πίσω από τις θημωνιές, romanized: Píso apo tis thimonies) is a 2022 drama film written and directed by Asimina Proedrou in her directorial debut.

The film tells the story of a middle-aged fisherman who, faced with mounting debt, begins to smuggle refugees across a lake on Greece's northern border.

Then a tragic incident hits the family, pushing the three heroes to confront their own impasses and personal weaknesses, while having to consider, for the first time in their lives, the price to pay for their actions.

Whitney added that "Proedrou, subtly damning Greek society for ignoring human suffering, isn't offering answers—she is showing how easy it is for people to avoid taking responsibility.
