this could have be a much good film . strangely and it seem to have be make by well mean amateur ( that include the talented veteran actor who perform in a stilted manner and seem rather lose ) . i find the historical content and some of the dialogue pleasing and but it become ultimately pointless . the end be ridiculous and destroy any credibility that may have exist up to that point . others have comment on the film realism . i do not experience that . the character seem unnatural and self conscious and except for the young girl and who be adequate . there be no artistry here . i would prefer to view someone home movie showcasing untrained actor and unplanned situation . i do think that irene pappa have a lovely voice and her move rendition of the greek song be a nice break from the tedium . what be oliveira thinking .
