Yannis loves Sofia — but his parents, his neighbours, his friends and the society he lives in are all against it. But what is the problem? Strange as it may seem, the problem is that they are straight! Yannis and Sofia belong to a different world, a world where gay relationships are the norm, and where only people of the same sex fall in love. Anyone who claims otherwise is swiftly banished. To keep their love alive, Yannis and Sofia will have to make the impossible possible. Full Summary

KAVAFIS

KAVAFIS (Καβάφης)
A Film by Yannis Smaragdis

Cast: Dimitris Katalifos, Vasilis Diamantopoulos, Maya Lyberopoulou, Lazaros Georgakopoulos, Alexandros Koukos, Vassilis Seimenis, Giannis Rigas, Maria Katsiadaki, Manos Meletiou

Greek cinema doesn't boast many good films, and when a film like "Kavafis" comes out, people take notice. The film has beautiful scenes from 19th and early 20th century Alexandria, Constantinople and Athens and a wonderful score from the famous Vangelis (of "Chariots of Fire" fame). Most Greek films never reach a level that "Kavafis" has in these aspects. Full Summary

HONEY AND THE PIG

HONEY AND THE PIG (Λουκουμάδες Με Μέλι)
Loukoumades Me Meli
A Film by Olga Malea

Cast: Christos Loulis, Faye Xila, Vladimiros Kiriakidis, Haris Mavroudis, Dimitris Piatas, Pavlos Haikalis

Olga Malea's new comedy raised quite a ruckus when it opened in Athens, offending many people with its comedic framing of a hunt for a pedophile. The comedy actually opens up the characters of people surrounding the molester and creates a sense of humanity and depth without in any way excusing the crime. In fact, as it unfolds, some of the zaniness that builds the comedy is revealed as having more purpose and hidden depth than is apparent at first. Full Summary
