A film that marked a new generation of filmgoers and became one of the most loved movies of contemporary Greek cinema, Renos Haralambidis’ directorial debut is a black and white love letter to cinema, romantic passion, and the undimmed flame of youth.

Synopsis

A young, disappointed director tries to film an independent, low budget love movie. He’ll raise the interest of an ex porn producer, who will accept to fund his film while trying to persuade him to make it more commercial. The director insists, trying to cast in the leading role a young neighbor of his with whom he’s in love.
