    If you downrate this film, you simply don't understand it.

    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.

    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

    Cheap cigarettes and more

    Restless and romantic Renos with a pinch of surrealism...

    Haralambidis,Renos Haralambidis.A Good movie from a good director and actor.

    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

    A truly poetic movie

    It is very odd not to consider this film unique and magnetic, if you have ever even once stop the time and think through the city's pulse. This movie is a poet about nameless dreams and stopping of time in order to cope with an anonymous city which nevertheless seems to have people with certain IDs. The staring character is an observer and yet a star in a bohemian "under"world. Charalambidis manage to express his out of time and out of place dream of life, a constant trip through a yet still city. It is not easy to make a movie without any touchable plot and not having eg Jean Pierre Leo in your team. The actors, the music, the sleeping city fit perfectly to the movie. If you have an intention of not reading a poem, prefering novels and secret meanings, don 't watch this movie. On the other hand if you want to know the people's thoughts and relations without any ID and special role watch the movie and you may find some dreams and thoughts of your inner self who wakes up when the city is asleep.

    • Quotes

      Nikos: I am a collector. I collect the toughest and wildest of things... moments. When I suddenly get a desire to fly, and I have nowhere to fly to, I hide in my collection, full of coffees, boxers, dancers, random contacts, insults, tender outlaws, arcades, meetings, screams, silences, separations, words, words, words... Things will flow they way they like, anyway. Life knows. And I trust her...
