this movie have be advertise for over three month in greece a the big greek production ever . well and it could be and but . when you hear of a big production you expect to see something new and something different . what you get to watch here be a movie with no reason of existence . george corraface look like he do not really enjoy make this movie . his acting be so simplistic and that look almost amateur . the sound and especially when some of the turkish actor speak english ( dub . ) and be full of hiss . the and thankfully few and special effect show istanbul and athens in the late 50 and early 70 be more like digital painting than computer graphic . finally and we see the same boy from 1959 ( age 5 ) up to 1968 ( age 14 ) and but in a miraculous way he become a teenager five year later . so much for the big greek production . at least one would think that there would be some kind of interest script to qualify for such an expensive production . and all one get be a love story between 7 year old and who meet again 40 year later . oh and there be a political side and too . a couple of ironic remark about the greek junta of 67 74 and so childish that seem almost force . there be and of course a couple of good thing in the movie represent most of the actor be great and mainly ieroklis michaelidis and the very good scenery and the magnificent music by evanthia remboutsika while but they be so few for such an expensive production . bottom line represent be it so bad a movie . to tell the truth i do not know . i just know that in no point do it justify it huge ( for greek standard ) budget .
