Film description

Andreas and Stella, a young couple, play the game of Life and Survival in modern-day Greece of unemployment, illegal immigrants and closed horizons. They will learn and they will suffer, but mostly they'll suffer, as they traverse a country, which, the more it changes, the more it remains the same, crossing the mine-laid fields of Need, Love and Desire. A varied world will parade before them, from the corner stores and rooftops of Athens, to the snow-covered mountains and cheap night-clubs of rural Greece. Trains, buses, stations, and freezing hotel rooms; sinful nights with booze and bouzouki music; with female singercall girls and demanding customers; with Russian dancers, boxerwriters and milkmenphilosophers; but also with real killers and real guns. At the end of this journey, face to face with the unveiled threat of violence, our heroes will look upon the face of fear and, as the snow falls silently, they will cry out: "Sit tight, guys! The adventure is over!"

i There are no scheduled screenings.
