Synopsis by Robert Firsching
Tonis Lykouressis directed and co-wrote this impressionistic look at a writer's artistic crisis. Antonis Theodorakopoulos stars as an author whose birthday lecture is met with a great deal of disappointment, forcing him to retreat to his home island of Zante to contemplate his failure. When he reaches the island, the writer meets pretty Anna (Olia Lazaridou), an actress who reminds him of his youthful passion for Alcestis, and helps him overcome his writer's block. Maria Zafiraki and Alexandros Mtlonas buoy a cast consisting primarily of local amateurs.
