Although the protagonist is a leading TV-actor in Greece, it is the first time I watched him playing. Adored with exaggeration by young women for his tear dropping series about twisting and twisted love stories, and equally avoided by men. So my girlfriend had to really try in order to convince me watch it. Two low budget conventional love stories achieve what the big budget tiring Cloud Atlas could not do: Attach you to the characters, play with the idea of love through the multiverse and make you philosophize about what is predestined in your life and what is not. All this is pictured just within the context of modern bankrupted Greece. Congratulations to Papakaliatis for his simultaneous effort as writer, director and main character, but also for the achievement to reunite G.Konstantinou and M.Kontou incarnating for the 2nd time their most memorable characters.
