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.

The first must-see film of the year.
If you like deep, emotional and still serious movies, this is the one. I am obsessed with Greece since my childhood and have lived there for many year and probably will go back one day and this was the reason why I just googled Greek movies and came across this movie and read the plot. On the background of troubled Greece without any Make up or masks these three love stories about a "second chance" goes directly not into your heart but into your "Psichi" as they say in greek into your soul. I just did not want the movie to end and this is one of the movies which will stick with me for a long long time! Fantastic! Must be one of the most wonderful movies I have seen in a LONG time!
Another useless and "copied" Greek movie from Papakaliatis like "What If" (original movie was Sliding Doors).This time, Papakaliatis steals the idea from Crash (2004) and re- write the script for the modern situations in Greece of 2015-2016.There is no script, no direction, no music, in few worlds a very big nothing.But the most annoying thing in this movie was the bad acting from all the cast... Only Minas Chatzissavas escapes from this tragedyFor me Papakaliatis is a talentless actor and director who uses his name for movies without value because has some fans.I am Greek, but i don't like contemporary Greek movies, because 99.99% of them are for the trash...
I could not expect anything less from Christoforos Papakaliatis! Excellent performances,realistic dialogs and a touch of Greek magic even through difficult yet realistic situations.All three stories kept you waiting anxiously for the conclusion.You get a fairly good picture of how economical crisis has affected different age groups all through a love story. I have to mention the music that gives a more dramatic aspect to every scene. Finally the beautiful scenery of Plaka makes you fall in love with Greece and forget, even if for a moment,all the everyday trouble Greek people go through everyday. I highly recommend it to everyone-Greek or not.
There are not many Greek production movies that can make it to the theater with good impressions. And one should support their countrymen and their efforts. But i am deeply disappointed and angry. Reviewing this way, is of course not the Right way, cause "Anger leads to the dark side"... You all know what this is all about and where it leads. Director Christopher Papakaliatis "copy-past" and mimics scenes from foreign movies and blockbusters into his own movies. Thats that kind of money he makes and now he pushes back release dates to...sabotage? If you have a good movie, let it speak for itself. If you're afraid of competition, don't release it...
