A Greek woman drowning in debt, bad men, and unemployment—who needs saving now?
Anna faces everyday problems in her Greek life. Her previous "man" left her debts, the new guy approved not to be the right one, in addition to these she loses her job and indeed needs somebody to rescue her!
Acting
Maria Zorba's raw, unglamorous lead performance anchors the chaos.
Production
Authentic Athens locations feel lived-in, not tourist postcard pretty.
Director
Stratos Tzitzis
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Early 2000s Greek cinema rarely centered working-class women's economic struggles; this quietly subverted romantic comedy expectations.
Director Stratos Tzitzis largely disappeared from feature filmmaking after this—making it a fascinating one-off time capsule.
