I am a big fan of Aliki Vouyouklaki and this is one of her best comic performances. She plays Rena, a rich young woman being forced by her megalomaniac father to marry a rich dork. She avoids this by running away from home in Corfu and off to the mainland. On the way she meets good looking but poor Lefteris (Thimitris Papamihail) and falls in love. The scenes where she is disguised as a man to avoid being recognised are delightful and very funny. The film also carries a serious message: that arranged marriages should not be forced on anyone against their will. Aliki is a Greek legend: An iconic, talented and stunning actress who sadly passed away in 1996.
