synopsis
This downbeat tale of a married couple's days of ouzo and roses from Greek filmmaker Kostas Assimakopoulos tries its best to be inspiring, but is ultimately merely depressing. Christina Sylva stars as the unbelievably dedicated wife of a self-destructive alcoholic (Thanassis Mylonas), who puts herself through great emotional and financial hardship in an effort to save her husband from drinking himself to death. Vassilis Diamandopoulos co-stars with the prosaically named Maria Alkeou and Dimitris Nikolaidis.
