At 4:59. "And make people think we're some kind of prostitutes." In my native greek language it sounded so much better. We laughed and laughed. Its the best line in the film. Well done ladies.
I've watched this a few times now to help with my Greek learning and it's just so charming. I'd love to see more of these characters' lives. Everyone fits their role so well!
Σας ευχαριστούμε πολύ γι αυτό το φιλμ γεμάτο αλήθειες. Πολύ κρίμα που ερημώνουν τα χωριά, τα νησιά μάς κ οι παιδικές χαρές είναι άδειες κ γεμάτα τα νεκροταφεία. Κυρίως Αίσχος πού το κράτος δεν βοηθάει τους εναπομειναντες κατοίκους αλλά τους κόβει κ βασικές παροχές όπως γιατρό μανάβη καλά Μην πω γι ασθενοφόρα κ νοσοκομεία. Αυτή είναι η αλήθεια μάς.
The one who plays the stranger is very good British actor. Played for years in "As time goes by" one of the best TV series ever. Thank you for this upload. 🎉
I live in Greece I've been here for about 4 1/2 years maybe a little bit less There's a lot of truth in this film the Greek people are very similar to the characters in the movie It is an idyllic type of life and I think the movie captures the essence of that The filmology the way the scenes are portrayed is artistic and I complement the cameraman and camera Director
I'm a Greek Australian, returning to Greece for a holiday in a few weeks after 25 years...am so excited...cant wait to spend time with Greeks and their beautiful country!!! ❤🇬🇷😍💙🤸♂️💜
I visited my grandpa's village of Lafkos, and it seemed there were more people in the cemetery than living. We could not find our great grandparents' graves, but there was an earthquake some time in the past, and families who could afford to, moved their ancestors' remains to the new cemetery. God bless my cousins in Lafkos and Melina, and honor to my great grandparents George and Harikleah.
My village in a mountain in Kefalonia, the bus stopped coming. The bus passes through the next village at 6 in the morning to go to the capital and 3 in the afternoon to return from there. As in this film, there are more people in the cemetery than in the village and that's why there are no shops.
have you watched “blue maestro” on netflix? its beautiful also, although very different from this one with a lot of politics issues, it’s fulfilled with this greek scenarios, music, language, poetry and a beautiful island!
...είναι λυπηρό καί έν κατακλείδι υπήρξε καί καταστροφικό γιά τήν παράδοση, τήν γλώσσα, τά ήθη καί τά έθιμα μας τό γεγονός ότι εγκαταλείψαμε τήν ελληνική μας ύπαιθρο καί τήν μεθώριο Ελλάδα. Αυτό πληρώνουμε τώρα. Στή ζωή όμως πολλά είναι αναστρέψιμα 😊
@peteroreilly8060 I doubt it. It's different yes but for a Greek Cypriot no way it sounds weird. Unless you don't know what weird means. Are you from Cyprus or England?
Charming open hearted tragic to reality as the young people leave their villages and go to the larger cities for employment. The humour has a lot of depth to it. I love this film. It is the first Greek film I have searched for as I am learning Greek
I really like this movie! The characters are perfect and the storyline is so nice and elegant. I wish there was a transcript of the Greek speaking parts somewhere, so that I could read it and speak the Greek parts with the characters. Thanks @linguatree for recommending this movie to watch :)

This is such a delight! The script, the direction, the cinematography, the actors! Each aspect of this little jewel is brilliant. I must have watched it at least 10 times and have sent this link to many others to enjoy. The dialogue, the action is timed to perfection, not a word too much or two little; the three old women switching from black to colors that they realized they actually enjoyed, to the prospect of the couple pondering increasing the population themselves! Little movements meant so much more. Just a warm, wonderfully delightful film by a brilliant and truly gifted filmmaker and script writer. I can't praise this enough.
Alethea Avramis you had a good idea by making this film, I really enjoyed it but I was disappointed when it finished so quickly. There is an opening here for a series, I hope you take it up.
Sad but true. When you move to a country with different social norms it might be hard to understand how things work there in order to assimilate. I used to feel the same when I moved to the Netherlands ftom Greece.
That’s a very nice short film, however there is no such thing as a population limit below which you are cut off from essential services. It does make a premise of an interesting story, but the truth is that any village no matter how remote even with only one person living there, there will be some sort of providing services.
Kimon, I'm not sure you're correct about that.. I think they're restrictions on privileges in villages.... like no school teacher, doctor, priest etc..
At 4:59. "And make people think we're some kind of prostitutes." In my native greek language it sounded so much better. We laughed and laughed. Its the best line in the film. Well done ladies.
I'm not so in greek language but stil laughing
As a Greek American I am crying like a one year old ... SO BEAUTIFUL SO PROUD SO ENCHANTED! MIRACLE GREECE! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Συγχαρητήρια!!! Σε αυτούς τους χαλεπούς καιρούς, δημιουργήσατε μια ταινία γεμάτη ανθρωπιά, ευαισθησία κι αισιοδοξία!!! Σας ευχαριστούμε!!!

Το απόλαυσα από την αρχή έως το τέλος, υπέροχη ηθοποιοί . Μου άρεσε ή διγλωσσία.
Loved this... in Greek WITH English subtitles for those of us who are Greek and those who aren't !

ΤΙ ΠΑΝΕΜΟΡΦΗ Ταινια!!! Τοσα ΠΟΛΛΑ μεσα σε 15 λεπτα - Τελεια! Υπεροχη! Συγχαρητηρια! Ενα Μεγαλο Μπραβο και Ευχαριστω σε Ολους!
This would make a great full length co.medy with a bit of sadness intertwined.
Yeah like from the drama of Eric losing his wife maybe due to a grave illness or an accident..
I visited my grandpa's village of Lafkos, and it seemed there were more people in the cemetery than living. We could not find our great grandparents' graves, but there was an earthquake some time in the past, and families who could afford to, moved their ancestors' remains to the new cemetery.

This was phenomenal. Truly brought a smile to my face. Μπράβο

Ι am from Kefalonia too! If you live in a village and you don't own a car there is no way to go to hospital in case you need it!

Lovely story, simply but beautifully shot, with great characters!
I live in Cyprus. This is Cyprus exactly the same thing.
The Greek dialogue to me sounds wierd to me, I speak with Cypriot dialect, as you know it's very different.
....because they are Greeks too!
@@peteroreilly8060 It's a matter of local dialect....like in Crete, Ipirous, Macedonia or Aegean and Ionian sea ilands.
@peteroreilly8060 I doubt it. It's different yes but for a Greek Cypriot no way it sounds weird. Unless you don't know what weird means. Are you from Cyprus or England?
Fantastic storytelling !

Quite good! I really enjoyed it. Acting is good, directing is good. Script is also good.
Such a great film. It’s giving Wes Anderson and I’m here for it.
Delightful little movie!
I have just started to learn Greek and it’s really beautiful
Wait till ya get to "Ρε". Not gonna be beautiful
Me too
Same - I love the channel Linguatree
Me too
να είσαστε καλά
I kept wondering where I knew Eric from. Alistair from As Time Goes By! This was such a great film!
Oh yes! I couldn’t remember where I had seen him before!
Yes me too! 😂
Very nice story. Great to listen and practice my knowledge of the language.
Υπέροχη μικρή ταινία!!
Θα προτιμούσα να είχε και ελληνικούς υπότιτλους, όταν μιλούν στα Αγγλικά!
As a Greek American, I loved it. Thats pretty much a reality
Maybe 50 years ago !!
Thanks for a nice movie, Greek subtitles would have been even nicer!
Όμορφο! Συγχαρητήρια!
Absolutely beautiful!!!!!
Amazing! Loved this! Any chance of a sequel?
Η ιδέα παλιά, αλλά η ταινία τόσο φρέσκια! Θα την ήθελα και μεγάλου μήκους, για να είναι πιο χορταστική... 😀

how beautiful!!
I like everything about the Greek culture, hence, I really enjoyed this film! Kudos from komşu, Türkiye!
Great little film
Alethea Avramis you had a good idea by making this film, I really enjoyed it but I was disappointed when it finished so quickly. There is an opening here for a series, I hope you take it up.
I like this. I can understand many Greek words. The foreinguer gave more life to the city.
Excellent little film, really enjoyed it thanks.
I am happy that Papakostas is alive 🙃
Now where s that village, id like to move there 2 :))
Wonderful !!! I love in north Spain now but this brought a tear or two. Lovely lovely short film ❤
Δυστυχώς, δεν ένιωσα ευπρόσδεκτος στην Ελλάδα. Ως ξένος παραμένεις πάντα ξένος. Ο καθένας είναι ο δημιουργός της δικής του ευτυχίας.
Έτσι είναι. Αν δεν έχεις ήδη συγγενείς και φίλους που μένουν εκεί ειναι πολύ δύσκολο.
Sad but true. When you move to a country with different social norms it might be hard to understand how things work there in order to assimilate. I used to feel the same when I moved to the Netherlands ftom Greece.
Με έκανε να κλάψω… θα ήθελα να μείνω σ’αυτό το χωριό!
Εξαιρετικό! Love it!
Wonderful and fun. Loved it.
🥹😫that’s it. I want more!
Awesome simple life in Greece. The movie is perfect! Congratulations to the creator, creators!!!!
Όμορφη, γλυκειά ταινία ❤
Great film
Loved it!!!

Κρίμα που δεν έχει υπότιτλους στα ελληνικά.
Bothe funny and witty. Loved it.
No idea what that was about but loved it- oh what I'd give to be there now 😊!

Kimon,
I'm not sure you're correct about that.. I think they're restrictions on privileges in villages....
like no school teacher, doctor, priest etc..
Now, Xenia brought to next level.. :))
I wish I knew where this was
I think somewhere in Mani.
The village is Vathia in the Mani peninsula, Laconia.
@@papertoyss Isn't that that empty village far in the south?
@@ReinholdOtto Yes 👍
Bravo!
Can anyone please tell me where this was filmed?
Mani peninsula in the Peloponnese.
@@eleniasimop thank you!
Where I immigrated from, (Lakonia sparti - Sparta Greece) 60 years ago to the states .
Ο Παπακωστας το εκλεισε τελεια!! 😅
Haha I enjoyed this a lot
This could have been made into a full length movie and I really like the characters
τέλειο
Bravo
What village is this? Is it in Mani region?
Yes it's in Laconian Mani. Abandoned village of Vathia. Very well known in the area.

Πανέμορφη ταινία και πλοκή ..
Is there a Greek transcript somewhere?? It would help a lot to know the exact Greek words being spoken.
