What a waste of my time!!!
... View MoreTo me, this movie is perfection.

I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

As a Greek I can understand where this is coming from and I know and have lived some of the conversations (or variations of them). That said, the doesn't really achieve what it sets out for. While its interesting concept is enchanting at first, it does get repetitive fairly quickly.At the Berlin International Film Festival the filmmakers had to go through fire during the Q&A. Some of it wasn't fair to them or the movie. The filmmaking situation in Greece isn't the best, considering the overall financial situation. One of the problems though is that there is a tendency to overdramatize things. Like sulking up to ones own sorrow. The movie captures that pretty good, but while its sometimes refreshing to see non-actors, they also fall into the trap of repeating themselves. While short and under the disguise of "documentary" (it still is a fictionalized story) and surely made with a lot passion and little money, this should not be seen as more than an exercise to hopefully some better work in the future
