I felt like this only after Coppola's Taxi Driver movie
If you love Cinema don't miss this perl.
Explosions in the Universe.
A busket full of fruits, a crystal vase full of flowers a window to human soul, My Oscar goes to Digger.
Cinema has a meaning finally... From the country that invented Theater from the country that invented Drama Hellas (Greece) Cinema at its best !!!
Many talented people worked for this masterpiece !!! Gifted people tighted strongly with their Country Land and the Nature.
I can watch this again again and again and dive each time into different views and aspects related to the character and personality of each person in the movie and always arrive to the same final destination scene the "Zeibekiko Dance" and the "NOT FOR SALE" .And you know what? I don't know what to do then to cry or to lough?
I remain so frustrated...

Excellent work, wonderful photography, beautiful locations, captivating shots, fantastic acting, Mourikis is the best. Realistic senario which exposes environment, economical, ethical and social dilemmas. The characters are well developed with back stories. There are funny moments and hard moments just as life is.
The best film I have watched in ages if never.

Greece's official entry to 2022's Oscars is decent and well made. It's real, simple and intense. Screenplay is very good, it tackles interesting topics as well. Cinematography is great and so are the performances.
It is a moving and multidimensional film with deep social and political messages. It focuses not only on the broken father-son relationship and how it is evolving, but also raises critical political issues, such us the change in the local economy due to the arrival of a large company and the impact it has, not only on the lives of local producers struggling to handle, but also in the relations between the inhabitants.
The issues raised of this film are so realistic that it's really worth seeing and thinking about. It is one of the best Greek movies I have ever seen.

With a form of modern western, the director builds a confrontation with the progress as a destructive element, which is also defined in the relationship of the bohemian father and the son, full of reproaches. With an exceptional cinematography that shows the greatness of the landscape as well as the intimacy of the people, the film works in contrast, in the harshness of the forest and its inhabitants.
