Greece 1986-1987, a little before the fall of State Socialism and just at the end of the Cold War. In front of Anthi’s eyes the country is changing, the world is changing and with them Christos seems to be changing too.
The story is based on true events and characters, some of whom I have personally met. I met Anthi by reading her letters to Christos (the film is based on these very letters) and I was so touched by the unique way (maybe even a little utopian) that she experienced life, perceived the world and loved people. Additionally, while reading her letters, I myself recalled personal memories from my childhood and reminisced about images and events which I loved bringing back to life and experience all over again through this film.
