The Death of Timotheos Konstas

Ματωμένα στέφανα

I want to live in the sun.

This is one of the many variations on the Romeo and Juliet myth, in which young love reunites two children, Dimitris and Myrto, whose families hate each other to death. Myrto's father caused Dimitris' father to be financially ruined and, although both men are dead, the hatred of Dimitris' mother, Theophile, does not seem to fade. This time, the feeling between the two young people blooms again under the sun of Chalkidiki, where Myrto and her aunt Eleni are going on vacation. Dimitris does not seek any revenge and his interest in Myrto is sincere and guileless. The feeling is mutual, while the passions and hatreds of the past fade away under the blue sky and the hot sun...

Sarakatsanissa

The story of Romeo and Juliet is transferred to the Greek province (on the slopes of Mount Parnassos), where the conflict between two powerful Sarakatsanai families rages, whose children, despite family hatreds, love each other madly.

I Anagennisi Enos Ethnous

Φάκελλος Αμαζών

Οι κολασμένοι

Τα Ξένα Χέρια Είναι Πικρά

Το φθινόπωρο μιας καρδιάς

Για την αγάπη μιας ορφανής

I am innocent

At first there was the theatrical adaptation, by Manolis Skouloudis, of the legendary Dreyfus Affair (an adaptation based on the novel by Emile Zola). It was then transferred to the cinema. The subject: the early 20th century and the military establishment, with the help of a money-loving and womanizing junior officer (Alekos Alexandrakis), accuses Captain Alfred Dreyfus (Dimitris Myrat) of treason, because he allegedly handed over secrets to the Germans. After a mock trial, where expediency prevailed, Dreyfus was convicted and imprisoned. However, Emile Zola firmly believes in his innocence and, through the press, fights a brave and effective battle, which will lead to the uncovering of the conspiracy and the restoration of the honor of the unjustly slandered captain.

Ποτέ δεν είναι αργά

Brother Anna

Andreas, nephew of the abbot of the Monastery of Dionysios, who died eight years previously, arrives at Agion Oros (Mount Athos) with a team of smugglers of antiquities, with the intention of stealing a gold cross set with precious gems, known as the Cross of Alexander the Great. He earns the trust of the meek and hospitable monks. However, a Jewish girl, Anna - whom, while still a baby during the war, her father had entrusted to the care of the hermit Vasileios - continues to pretend she is a young monk. She manages gradually to discover the entire scheme and acts to foil their plot.

Golfo-Girl of the Mountains

Spiridon Peresiadis (1864 - 1918) was one of the best writers of the dramatic idylls and mountain adventure genre that flourished into the late nineteenth century in Greece. In 1894, Peresiadis wrote Golfo, a story of love, jealousy and betrayal. In a village near Mount Helmos where the waters of the River Styx of Mavroneri flow, the young Golfo and Tassos swear eternal love to one another. True to her word, Golfo rejects a nobleman who wishes to marry her, but Tassos breaks his oath and agrees to wed a rich young woman instead. When he changes his mind, it is too late and the forces of destiny continue to their inevitable conclusion
