Renos as always tries for the best and I think that he managed it in this movie.It's a movie that makes you laugh but think deeply about several subjects that take place in our modern Greek society.All the actors who join this movie are excellent on their roles and I recommend you to see this interesting movie

Haralambides, a beatnik-wannabe himself, has a first go at creating a film with beatnik connotations all around. Only it doesn't work out that well. The main character (you guessed it, Haralambides) takes a midnight stroll round the deserted streets of athens with a girl he meets by accident. In the process they hold a 'most mortifying cliche ever' contest by elaborating on matters of life, love, death, what have you, only to come to the conclusion that, well, she doesn't fancy him very much. All this is embellished with parallel storylines taken from the life of our hero (Haralambides, lest we forget) or nowhere in particular (as if anyone cares). The only (mildly) exciting bit in the entire film is Costas Tsakonas's performance (whose name by the way is not even mentioned in the credits). A terrible waste of time, money and talent (definitely not Haralambides's).

the feeling of the this movie really got me. what a pleasant surprise it was when i saw this quality movie instead of a classic Greek movie. city of Athens is shown at the season when the beauty is incomparable!an august evening in the heart of the city , in the heart of a deserted city , two complete strangers enjoy the night while scenes from a café are fulfilling the intention of the director to give his dimension of human relationships. funny , poetic , meditative , philosophical , sincere , real , touching , romantic .... all these could be said to characterize the movie but in no means it can be characterized as cheap ... it is a true spiritual effort ... . if you happen to watch that movie let it flow and let you drift inside it inside you!! i hope that you reno still smoke cheap smoke

This movie, for me, perfectly captures the subconscious (or conscious for some) surrealism that derives from actual realism. (if you know what I mean)

The movie perfectly captures how it feels to be in Athens in August. A barren place where every single thought is exaggerated and there is a smell of death and romance in the air. The music selection is perfect.

Being a Greek who is highly biased against Greek cinematography, this film acted as nostalgic beacon of what Greek cinema should be about.

Humour, romance, and surrealism in just the right amount needed for a great flick.

A masterpiece that you must see.

A movie that presents Greek life in a romantic way. Very low budget, very ambiguous story, yet an excellence. What cinema as an art should be. You can take away whatever you want from this film, but it for sure visually stunning in a looking from afar kind of way. Definetely crafted with passion and meraki. A must watch if you like indie cult films that show culture and romance of another time. Everyone who watched this movie loved it.

It is the kind of movie that will change a little bit how you view the world. The kind of movie that is just pure creation from someone's mind and soul. Buy a pack of the cheaper cigarettes you can find and lose yourself to 90s Athens' empty summer streets.
