Manolis is an ordinary man who can't enjoy himself or have a good time because his life is ruled by money. One night he meets temptation and all his principles go out the the window.
Ena votsalo sti limni is one of the finest examples of '50s Greek cinema, characterised by such bittersweet movies. It balances comedic and dramatic elements, offering a fascinating insight into the human condition. One difference that sets it apart from its contemporaries is the social context. It doesn't focus on poor people who struggle to make a living. Instead, its characters become acquainted with a new lifestyle, glamorous and unfamiliar ways of entertainment. The Greek countryside, culture and tradition give way to an urban, "international" landscape. Also, it has to said it's remarkably brave for a movie of its time to feature adultery as one of its main themes.
The music is lovely, too especially the song Ala, anoixe ki alli mpoukala.
