    Andreas and Agisilaos, two rich old friends, are fascinated with young Rita, a poor girl from Plaka, who often visits their aristocratic neighborhood in Kifissia with her mother. They dream of asking for her hand and wonder if aged men have the right to fall in love. Agisilaos actually means to propose marriage whereas Andreas would rather sell his soul to the devil, like Faust, (which he actually does) so he can be young again and win Rita’s love in the traditional way. But perhaps Agisilaos’ option proves to be more …traditional than Andreas’ and finally the two men (the former in his old age and the latter in his rejuvenated version) will have to fight hard to win Rita’s affection.Read More »

    Synopsis:
    ‘On a lazy Athenian morning of a warm summer Sunday, Mina, a young and fresh saleswoman, decides to go for a splash, only to have her chronically empty purse stolen–and with it–a soon-to-be winning lottery ticket. And just like that, fate–and a pair of juvenile delinquents looking for a quick buck–will bring together the unfortunate Mina and the ticket’s handsome new owner, Alexis, against the backdrop of irritating and fruitless litigation. Of course, Mina wants her robbed luck back; however, what if fortune and the impatient god of desire, Cupid, are already on her doorstep?’

She fears harassment whenever she leaves her house. When two Athenians on vacation board at Marina’s family home, things come to a head: she falls in love with Pavlos, one of the visitors, and he with her.
