synopsis
This dreary romantic drama from director Yiorgos Zervoulakos is an uneasy mixture of Nouvelle Vague pessimism and traditional Greek sentimentality. Christos Nengas is the struggling young antihero who drifts aimlessly from job to job, briefly finding some happiness as a photojournalist. He is soon called into the military, ending his hopes of settling down with girlfriend Eleni Prokopiou long enough for Zervoulakos and screenwriter Thanos Gorpas to wallow in ennui for a while, but everything works out in the end. Nikos Kazis, Eleni Zafiriou, and Pantelis Zervos co-star.
