Vougiouklaki gives us one of her finest performances and wins the prize in Cannes.Zervos is excellent too.Nice cinematography and a great score from the master Hatzidakis.

An excellent greek movie in a sunny island. Comedy and drama, quarrel and romance, duty and love. With the perfect direction of Dinos Dimopoulos and the excellent music of Manos Xajidakis.I recommend it to everyone in any place around the world.

This movie is now considered a classic and it features the award-winning performances of Aliki Viougiouklaki, as the untameable leading character, and Pantelis Zervos as the unconventional village priest.

Additional bonus for the lucky viewers are the two songs that Manos Hajidakis composed for the film, especially "Thalassa Platia" which features IMO in the most beautiful scene of the film. Vougiouklaki always transfered her playful character to her vocal performances and that's why her movie songs very popular to this day.

Aliki in this movie would make you laugh and she will also make you cry. You will admire her stamina and pride, as much as the manner she tries to hide her love interest for the most unlikely suitor.

All you would want from a movie!! Brilliant humour and lightness, a lively beautiful actress, an amazing scenery on a beautiful island with stunning pictures of the blue mediterannean sea. Fantastic music, and strong deep emotions of all sorts. Sadness, despair, lightness, hope, romance, simple beauty. After you have watched it you get an amazing inspired feeling of lightness and depth and joy. Feelings that linger and makes you want to watch the movie again and again not only for the insightful life lessons that lie behind but just for the deep joy of watching it.. The will and fight of the individual, the lovely Madalena who goes against the short sighted society she was born in and fights it, who fights the blows of destiny as well and keeps standing not betraying her dreams and her nature. The characters and the scenario is genuinely funny and dramatic at the same time. You just need to watch the film... Simply put, it is a masterpiece !!
