Synopsis by Mark Deming

Two people find themselves roaming the countryside -- one trying to get away from a bad relationship, the other hoping to save it -- in this drama from Greece. Stella (Athina Maximou) is an aspiring nightclub vocalist who is stuck in a combative relationship with her boyfriend Andreas (Nikos Kourius), who runs a small market. One day, Stella decides she's had enough of Andreas and small-town life and hits the road, eventually stopping long enough to meet Gina (Zoe Nalbandi), who is also trying to make a go of a career as a singer. Stella and Gina become fast friends, and set out to make a career as a double act. Andreas, however, wants Stella back, and decides to comb the countryside looking for her, with a pal who happens to be a professional boxer (Kostas Markopoulos) tagging along for the ride. As Stella and Gina search for their destiny, Andreas and his friend share their thoughts about relationships, with the fighter coming to the conclusion that his buddy has a lot to learn about women.
