Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This launched Zoe Laskari as Greece's definitive 'bad girl' star, a type that dominated commercial cinema for a decade. The 'fallen woman' trope here reflects post-civil war Greek anxieties about modernity.
The prison diary framing was added after censors objected to the original ending. Laskari reportedly hated the reshoots and barely spoke to Dalianidis during production.
