    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.

    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 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

    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.

      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.

    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.
