Trivia
A Rizitiko (plural Rizitika), is a traditional folk type of song native to western Crete. The term derives from the villages located on the foot (riza) of the White Mountains, nevertheless, several views on the subject exist. This form of music is dating back to the Byzantine era.

touching tale with the power of Steinbeck

I lucky to catch this amazing short at the LFF. This film had me on the edge of my seat.

Set in the hills of Crete a shepherd tends to his flock. Not all is what it seems. Obessesed by Samuria movies he looks like a big guy but as the film progresses we realise he is a gentle giant. Once this point is realised he film has the power Of Mice and Men. Like when his uncle throws him out of the shop for dropping the tomatoes. I really felt for him. He's like a big kid - a dreamer - like all of us. His relationship with his mother is truly moving.

This film is worth catching.
