A biographical film about the life of the greatest songwriter in Greece , Eftyhia Papagianopoulou (1893-1972)

A monk of a Greek monastery, tries to cope with the unbearable sadness and loneliness , when he loses his little dog, the only companion he has got.

The story follows Ero, a former police woman, who works currently as a private investigator. An old man, Elias, will pay her a visit and assign to her to find his long lost daughter and give her a special box.

Three separate narratives each following a love story between a foreigner and a Greek. Each story represents a different generation falling in love during a time of socioeconomic turmoil that dominates Southern Europe as a whole, only to connect as a single story in the end.

Grecia /// En la década de los años 70, Grecia está bajo una brutal dictadura militar. La Navidad se prepara en un campo militar, en Evros (en la frontera con Turquía). Los pensamientos, sin embargo, del teniente capitán Stephen Karamanides están en otro lugar. Él tiene un solo deseo, bailar con su amor secreto, la esposa del teniente coronel Emmanuel Logos. Pero él no sabe bailar. Para ello busca la ayuda de un soldado, Lázaro Lazarou, un hombre tímido y joven, que se encuentra en el campo como una persona culta y sensible.

Two men, different characters, share the most fascinating woman in the world, while the smells and tastes work as the best aphrodisiac in their parallel relationships. A love triangle, with little doses of the art of the cousine.

Twelve year old Christos Myrisiotis lives with his mother Eleni on a remote picturesque Aegean island. The boy has been doubly singled out by fate. He has a remarkable musical talent but at the same time is condemned to going blind as a result of a rare disease. Now an eccentric loner, Christos finds an outlet in nature and the dream world of a cave where his heightened hearing enables him to collect natural sounds which he then turns to musical compositions for his violin. His only friends are his classmate Angeliki and the old lighthouse keeper Soursoumis who teaches him not only the violin but also about life in general. Everything changes when the new schoolteacher Maria arrives on the island. She develops a great interest in Christos’ exceptional abilities even though he keeps on being indifferent to school. On her own initiative Maria ensures his participation in a music contest. Christos’ traumatic family and personal experiences cause him to mature as an artist.

In this supernatural-themed romance, a German woman in the between-wars period is being initiated into some kind of esoteric/psychic order and learns at that time that her ideal mate won't even be born for quite a few years. By 1936, she has moved to Greece with her Greek husband, and there she meets Alberto, a very young Greek man, a Jew, who is evidently the man she has been seeking. They are able to read each other's thoughts and do so in the midst of a sexual encounter. Despite the boy's attraction to her, he spurns her due to her age (she is forty). She commits suicide and is born almost immediately as someone able to protect her ideal mate from the Germans. Later, as a young woman, she again has a liaison with Alberto, who again spurns her due to their age differences. Flashbacks indicate that this situation has been part of their lives for many incarnations.

“This is their chance to have a life.” In 1992, 165 children were living in inhuman conditions in Leros. Those who had arrived as babies had never learned to walk, to dress, or to feed themselves. This documentary follows the young Greek medics who moved in to reform the asylum. They were astonished at the determination of the children, some of who had been chained to their beds for years, to improve their lives. A model ward was set up, and children were unchained. Within months some, like Andreas, were able to play games outside for the first time in their lives.
