Synopsis by Jonathan Crow

Noted Greek director Panos Karkanevatos creates this romantic drama about thwarted love in the Balkans. At the behest of her overbearing brother, attractive student Konstantina (Fotini Papadodima) dumps her musician lover Nikolas (Yorgos Karamihos) when she becomes pregnant. Grieved, Nikolas leaves his quiet village for the bustle of Thessaloniki, where he gets involved in the smuggling of illegal immigrants from the Balkans. Among them is Elena (Lena Kitsopoulou), a gorgeous, though flat broke blonde from Russia. As the romantic chemistry builds between the two, Nikolas learns that Konstantina has moved to the port city. This film was screened at the 1999 Thessaloniki Film Festival.
