Just really captivating. You could experience all the feelings along with the actors and the main character "eftyhia" was portrayed magnificently. A great film for the Greek music.

Marvelous!

It's an amazing and touching movie about a woman that has written history in the greek music industry and for a human that had a really difficult life but at the same time was absolutely free.

What a GREAT "GEM", this film is!

What to wrote about this marvelous film...

Eftyhia Papagiannopoulou is the A-Z of the entire Greek music/songs HISTORY! This woman wrote almost ALL the GREATEST super songs that A LOT GENERATION of Greeks grown up with them!

We're talking about the HISTORY of Greek music! Every great song you know and you listening, dancing and singing is from her.

A woman, who was born in an old men's world (in Asia Minor), who got married very young... but, she left all her behind and LIVED HER LIFE EXACTLY AS SHE LIKED IT! TOTALY FREE! Seriously, this great woman lived 1000 lives of ours; I wish we could live 10% as she did.

The film is AMAZING. Very dramatic, very emotional, has a lot of her MAJOR success (songs), the script is beautiful, the direction is great, the screen-play IS AMAZING, the dialogues are INCREDIBLE... ...its a MASTERPIECE!

Seriously, one of the BEST Greek films ever created!

A giant with feet of clay

This movie has it all; nice photography, adequate directing, good acting and nice soundtrack, except from the script. If you are not familiar either with the protagonist or with her songs, this movie doesn't concern you. In an effort to portray the main character and her life as close to reality as possible, it would have been better to make a docu-style mini series. If you want to have the audience's interest you have to make them sympathize with the hero of the story. This film doesn't get there. Instead of approaching the story from an anthropocentric point of view, it does so from a reporting one. It gathers all the main events of the hero's life and links them uncohesively. The end result is pleasant aesthetically but uninteresting story-wise.
