The movie is about a young girl living in Athens and trying to find her idenity away from her mother's home inside the economic crisis in Greece. Interesting as a plot that touches so many people who live under these circumstances, BUT... There is no story at all. Really there was no start or finish of the plot. Just everyday scenes, with amateur sound engineering, an awful film editing, cringy acting (if there is any at all), dialogues were at least laughable and you thought they were written by a 13 year old teenager. There was more time watching the main character sleeping, reading, having a shower and peeing (NO, I'm not kidding) than acting. I found it really difficult to choose the right button if my review has spoilers or not, because in the whole movie there's no story AT ALL to give any spoilers. Only hipsters woud find that movie interesting, and i'm not so sure about that either.

Although this film was cantered on the main character and a bit slow to get into - it was like watching a short period of her life as she was living it. Her determination to find herself should inspire many young people to leave home. It isn't easy but rewarding to see the results.

Many young people do not appreciate the sacrifices that parents make especially single parents to provide everything for their child so they have a better life. But she was right. She wasn't asked whether she wanted it that way. As a single parent of a nearly 17 year old I decided to allow my child some freedom to develop into her own self. Today many young people go out into the world without the right tools to survive because they have been too protected.

This film is an excellent representation of a young woman who rebels against that comfortable and over protected environment.

Just a wasted of time. not wothwatchinh it! no poin form a beggining to end

i listened tzitzis in you-tube talking about the generation of 700 in Greece and he made a political analysis of contemporary youth.This film is an illustration of the division between an aristocracy of well paid individuals and a post industrial working class that strives to find an identity.This identity has to be limited by the perils of a protective yet authoritative family structure and the desires dreams etc that are marginalized by the 700 euro wage.Tzitzis clearly sends a message of defiance with the attitude of her protagonist to demarcation lines that the dominant ideology imposes upon individuals.He don't adopt a leftist prose only in one instance with graffiti on the wall is an indirect allusion to anarchy, and he lets the audience to decide if the stance of the protagonist is a positive or negative.For me tzitzis is saying that every form of struggle is positive and welcomed vs inertia and apathy (friends and former boyfriend).Tzitzis thinks like an intellectual showing us the problem and to take initiative to the discourse.This can only be respected and esteemed, but the price is that he misses the essence of cinema which is to deliver images.His images of observing deliberately dull a real Adorno of cinema.Still he is an author that his work must receive attention.

I had the pleasure of watching this at the Saloniki Film Festival in December 2010. The director and the main actress were present at the screening and did a Q&A after the movie. I really liked the movie, it was really down to earth and had performances in it, that were worthy to watch. I cannot recall another (greek) movie of the recent film history, that had performances to match those in this movie.

Many things might be improvised in the movie and there might be a few story twists, that you might not like, but you cannot fault it for it's sheer rawness. There are of course a few flaws (there is even a few extras who obviously are not professionals), but this will still stay with you, if you let it.
