Man:
There are thousands
of interpretations

that have been given
throughout the years

about the power
of being in love.

The Ancient Greeks
realized that power

and made love a god,
god Eros.

Because of him,
wars have been fought.

Many lives have been lost.

Entire worlds have changed.

All because no one could ever
conquer his power.

We all seem
so different at first,

but we are so much alike
when we fall in love.

Reporter: The global community
keeps witnessing the crisis

in the Middle East,
while the civil war in Syria

continues for
the fifth consecutive year

with thousands of citizens
abandoning their country.

Greece is one of the main
transit countries

receiving a huge number
of illegal immigrants.

Unfortunately,
policy makers in Europe

have not acknowledged
the issue

and thus do not indicate
a willingness

to support countries
like Greece and Italy,

which are now facing
the biggest incoming
immigration problem.

Just in 2016,
the immigration wave

is expected to rise
to 4,000 immigrants

arriving every day
to entry-point countries

as their sole solution.

In the absence
of a coordinated EU approach,

fascism keeps rising
all over Europe.

Fascist attacks
in places

where migrants usually gather
is one of the many problems,

and in many cases
the situation gets
out of control.

Reporter on tablet:
Desperate immigrants
are trying to escape,

risking their own lives
while trying to hide

in different parts
of the city.

From one warzone to another,

many of them try to find
a way to leave Greece,

aiming to reach countries
like Canada

where their asylum-seeking
requests

will be approved
more easily.

Daphne:
Do you speak Greek?

Farris: No.

( speaks Greek )

Only a little English.

Where are you from?

Syria.
I'm Christian.

Things are very difficult
for us right now.

I know.

In-- in my country

things are
very difficult also.

No.

Your country
is much more easy.

You don't, uh, have a big war
between same people.

Same family.

Civil war.

Yes, civil war.

Did you study in Syria?

Oh, yes.
I-- I was in--

at a art school
for a year.

I...

- Drawing.
- Drawing! Yes, yes.

- ( laughing )
- Drawing.

Yes. Thank you.

You--
do you study here?

Yes, at the university.
Politics.

Politics no good.
Many lies.

I agree.

Things changed
all over the world.

Politics,
many unhappy people.

Politics,
many dead people.

Yes, that, too.

Politics cut people
two parts.

This is very stupid.

Your family?

I have to go.

Where do you stay?

It was nice
meeting you, Daphne.

Do you take
same bus every day?

Yes, I do.

Maybe...

tomorrow
if you are there--

- Yes, yes! Yes, yes.
- ( laughing )

- I-- I will be there.
- Okay.

*

- You did all this?
- Yes.

When I see something I like,
I want to keep it.

Make it more beautiful
in my mind.

Take one.
Any one you like.

Here.

I'll give you
my favorite.

This one.

( speaks Greek )

Yes, yes! Eros.

You know,
the Greek ancient god.

Do you know the story
about Eros and Soul?

Yes, I've read it
in Syria.

I love that story.

Me, too.

Farris...

how long are you going
to stay in Greece?

I don't know.

I mean, I wish I could
stay forever, but...

you know, it's a little bit
difficult for me here.

Hi.

Hi.

Sorry.

I fell asleep.

I think it's time
for you to go.

Right now?

Yes. I don't really like
sleeping with strangers.

Are you sure?

Positive.

Don't get me wrong,
it was great.

I just prefer
to sleep alone.

Huh.

Okay.
( clears throat )

- Where are you from?
- Sweden.

( speaking Greek )

- It's the climate.
- The what?

The climate, the climate.
You know.

You're from the north part
of Europe,

I'm from the south part
of Europe.

You are colder people,
we are warmer people.

You have rain all the time,
we have sun all the time.

- Are you drunk?
- Eh?

- You are drunk?
- A little bit, yes.

I don't think the climate
has anything to do with this.

Don't take it personally.

I don't know you,
you don't know me.

It was a one-night stand,
that's that.

Are you in Greece
on business?

Yes.

Are you gonna
stay long?

A few months.

A few months,
that's good.

( sighs )

Don't you wanna
know my name?

Hi.
My name is Giorgos.

- Elise.
- Elise?

My pleasure.

Elise, I had a great time.

And if you want,
we can do this
again sometime.

Maybe.

Okay.

Do you want me to give you
my phone number?

- You can give me
your phone number--
- Good night.

Ah, good night.
Right, okay.

Ah!

And I don't want you to get
upset now that I'm leaving,

- and you're gonna
be all alone.
- I'll try.

Ah, a sense of humor.
That's a very good thing.

You see, we already have
something in common, you and me.

- How about--
- Good night.

Okay, good night.
Good night.

Good night!

I'd like to be accommodated
somewhere else.

( doorbell rings )

- Hello?
- Giorgos: Hello?

- Who's this?
- Hi! It's Giorgos.

The guy you had the one-night
stand with last night

and then you kicked out
in the middle of the night?

Did you happen to find,
by any chance,

a small packet
of Loseft pills?

- You've got to be kidding me.
- No, no, no.

If you threw them out,
don't worry.

It was a great excuse
for me to come over

and ask you to come down
for a drink.

( doorbell rings )

What now?

Are you coming down
for a drink?

( Gadjo Dilo's
"Si Mou Harakses Poria"
playing )

Antidepressants?

Yes.

Every night
at 11:00 exactly.

You don't seem to need them.

That means they're
doing a good job.

Have you ever taken any?

No. I never understood
why some people

take this kind
of medication.

Maybe because sometimes
life is not that easy.

Maybe that's a good excuse.

Do you sleep well
at night?

Usually, yes.

Okay, then.

Imagine yourself
in the middle of the night

sleeping safe and sound
in your room

when someone bursts in
and grabs you.

He throws you down
and starts kicking you

while yelling that
the reality you knew so far
no longer exists,

everything you worked for
in your life is gone,

that it's your fault,

and that now you have to
start from scratch.

This is the reality I face
every day in my country.

Could you handle it?

- This intruder...
- Mm-hmm.

...how did he get
into my house?

Did I forget to lock
the door?

Or did I just leave it open
because I couldn't care less?

Aren't I somehow
responsible?

We live in a free world.

Everyone is accountable
for their fate.

You really believe
that we live in a free world?

Yes, I do.

That's very convenient
for you to say,

considering that
two-thirds of the planet

are suffering
this very moment.

Good thing you're
taking those pills.

I know.

Giorgos.

Giorgos,
time for you to go.

My job here
is to make your company

more productive
and more efficient

in order to get it
to a point

where it will be beneficial
for my partners

to buy out the share
you want to sell.

No international fund
ever risks investing

in unhealthy companies
such as yours.

All of your departments
are overstaffed.

Mitigation is a given.

I need the cooperation
of each department's manager

in order to begin
evaluating their staff.

Each manager has a better
picture of their employees

and how productive
and efficient they are.

I fully believe in cooperation,
but not when personal interests

or relationships
get in the way.

I don't do favors,
I don't show sympathy,

and I don't work in favor
of anyone or anything

other than
my company's interests.

Hi.

Would it be unprofessional
if I asked you for a favor

regarding a friend of mine?

Yes, it would.

His name is Odysseas.

He's in accounting.

And he's a very close
friend.

( boots stomping )

( man shouting
indistinctly )

Man on phone:
The only thing possible
is mitigation.

Some departments
need to combine,

and some others
need to be abolished.

And I absolutely agree.

Then why is there
such a long delay?

Because it's not as easy

as we thought it would be
in the beginning.

I've managed to reduce
the staff by 14% and--

Our goal is 35%.

And we will reach that.
I guarantee it.

Please get back to us
with better results A.S.A.P.

( Sofia Vembo's

Can I ask you
something?

Mm-hmm.

How come you never ask me
about my wife and son?

Why should I care about
something I can't understand?

You wear
your wedding ring
at the office,

pretending you're
happily married.

You lie to your child,
your parents, and everyone else.

I only care about things
I can comprehend.

You don't believe that people
may have weaknesses?

Of course I do.

I just have no respect
for weak people.

I'm not weak.

- ( chuckles )
- Do you think I'm weak?

You find it comforting
to be like other people

and it's easier
for you to take a pill
in order to handle it.

If that's not weak,
then what is?

So you don't believe
that falling in love

- can change everything?
- No.

Did you just say something
in Greek so I don't understand?

- Yes.
- And you won't translate it?

Nope.

- Weak.
- No, I'm not.

- Weak.
- I'm not.

- Yes, you are. Coward.
- I'm not.

- Big coward.
- I'm not.

Coward.

Pussy.
( squeals )

No! No! No!

- Say you're sorry.
Say you're sorry.

Is it that hard?

Yes, it is.

Male reporter:
The objections regarding
the economic politics

employed by
the European Union

against the Southern European
countries have risen.

Indisputable example is Greece,
which, for many,

acts as the guinea pig
of cruel financial politics

that gradually
have started to expand
to the rest of Europe.

Suicide, a previously
non-existent phenomenon
in Greece,

is now reaching
sky-high levels.

Fear and pressure have
immobilized the entire nation

due to the inhuman
austerity measures.

Is this a democracy
that has the nation's
health as a goal?

Is the European Union
falling apart?

Is this what globalization
is all about?

Is it possible that things
are not exactly

how we thought they were?

The crisis is now affecting,
little by little,

even the developed countries,

a political plan striking
back at the powerful ones

who are now
unable to handle it.

How can people deal
with this situation?

Is this new global reality
going to influence

and define our decisions

and, generally,
human relations?

Payroll to revenue
is still much higher

than we initially budgeted.

Why?
Why haven't you shut down

the division we discussed
last time?

Why is it taking so long
to reach our final numbers?

Elise, you should have
let these people go by now.

I used to come
to Greece every year

on vacation since 1980
until this year.

I decided to move here
permanently.

I love this city a lot.

I haven't learned to speak
modern Greek yet,

but I am beginning.

You understand?

No.
Yes, yes, a little.

I taught at the University
in Munchen for many years.

This year, I retired.

I said, Sebastian,
go leave everything behind.

Go live in Greece.

I am, um... historian.

- Historikos.
- Ah.

I am now a consultant
in the research department

at the National Library.

- You?
- You. No you. No you.

No me.
You, you, you.

No, no, no,

what you do?

Ah, you, me,
what I do?

- Yeah.
- I am housewife.

Very sorry housewife.

- Family?
- Yes, family.

Married?

Married.
Children, yes, yes.

This is nice.

Greek family
is very strong thing.

Because of the crisis?

I am unhappy.

- Why?
- ( sighs )

My...

my life bad.

If you don't like it,
then why don't you change it?

- You are married?
- No, I am a bachelor.

I was...
almost married once.

When I was a young man,
I was-- I was in love.

But...
I was too afraid.

I love that
we say what we feel
in our own language.

And even if we don't
understand the words,
it's okay.

We know--
we know the feeling.

- I go now.
- Okay.

- Ah.
- ( grunts )

For your back.
For your back.

Thank you.

Oh, oh, oh!

Yes.

I had nothing to buy here today,
but I came to get these for you.

I was very anxious to--

you don't understand me now,
but I don't mind.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- I go.

I will bring you another one.

confuse German people
with German politics.

Besides, I like to live
where I feel happy,

not where I am told to.

Maria, I want
you to come with me
to the National Library.

In there you will find
your country's history.

There is so much
I want to share with you.

And when you read,
you gain knowledge.

Knowledge,
you know?

Me, no gnosi.
Me, faith.

Faith, yes.

So important.

And you give me faith.

And when we have
knowledge also, then--

then we can understand
the world around us,
you know?

We-- we know
what makes us happy.

Sebastian:
All the greatest human passions
are in these books.

Here. Do you know
the story of Eros and Soul?

No.

This is one
of my favorite myths.

It's not widely known,
but it has so many meanings.

Do you know what Eros meant
for the ancient Greeks?

"Neikos" and "Filotita."

"Neikos" in ancient Greek
is conflict, dispute.

"Filotita"
is friendship, union,

something sacred,
something good.

Eros had both.

That's why the ancient Greeks
made him a god,

the god of the whole.

According to the myth,
Soul was mortal.

But she was so beautiful
that everyone worshiped her.

And Venus,
being the goddess of beauty,

got jealous of Soul.

( fades )
She commanded
her son, Eros...

*

Sebastian: God Eros did
as he was told by his mother.

But as soon
as he saw Soul,

he was so overtaken
by her beauty

that he accidentally
pricked himself with his arrow

and fell in love with her.

Eros took Soul with him
in his palace,

spending magical nights
together under the condition

that she would never
look at his face.

Soul, however,
did not keep her word,

and one night,
under the oil lamp's light,

she peaked at his face
while he was sleeping.

Soul saw the face of god Eros,
and he was even more handsome

than she had imagined him
to be.

She was so moved,
she accidentally spilled

some oil from the lamp
on his shoulder,

burning his skin.

Eros immediately awoke.

And with great pain,

he told her that
she had betrayed him

and that they can no longer
be together.

God Eros, hurt,

abandoned her.

And Soul, desolate,
made it her life's goal

to find again
her lost happiness
with god Eros,

to have a second chance
with him.

For many years Soul journeyed
all over the land

in search of god Eros,
enduring many hardships,

even journeying to Hades
in search of her lost love.

And god Eros was still
in love with Soul, too.

So he asked Zeus for help.

Zeus was touched
by their love story

and decided to give them
a second chance.

After all her hardships,

Soul had proven that her love
for god Eros was true.

Zeus made Soul immortal.

And they were married.

Together, at last.

The happy couple soon enough
gave birth to a little girl.

They named her Pleasure.

Maria, would you like
some time to meet

outside of the supermarket?

You and me, out.

- Out? Exo?
- Yes.

You and me?
From here?

Yes, yes.
I would like to see
you outside of here.

I am 65 years old.

May I ask?

I am...

55.

And is this enough for you?

Sebastian, I...
( speaks Greek )

I'm afraid out.
You and me out.

I understand,
but haven't you missed
doing something crazy?

Crazy.

Yes, I know,
I am crazy.

No, no, no.
Not you crazy.
No, no, no.

To do something crazy.
You know?

Something you would not do
under normal circumstances.

Tell me what is
the most crazy thing
that you would like to do?

- ( crickets chirping )

- Sex.
- No, no, no, no, no.

This is international word
everybody knows.

- It still counts. Sex.
- No, no, no, no.

It's a beautiful word.

Beautiful, yes.

Me, no memory.

Ah.

Don't you miss it?

Yeah.

Maria...

may I kiss you?

*

( speaks Greek )

( speaks German )

For you.

I know, but this one's
not translated yet

and I want you
to have it.

It's a beautiful novel.

- "Second... Chance."
- Yes.

Exactly.
That's what
the story is about,

a second chance.

Yes, but it big,
big, big.

Two years for me
to read it.

It's okay.
I will help.

The story is simple.

It's a love story
about two people...

just like us.

We do it together, okay?

( speaks Greek )

This is what
I would like.

I hope.

Maria...

I know it might sound
silly to you, but...

I am in love with you.

And I no longer have
the time I once had.

I know it is difficult
for you, but...

I want to meet you
outside of the supermarket.

All week long I miss you.

( speaks Greek )

I miss you, too.

All the time.

( group singing
"O! Gliki Mou Ear" )

What does "ear" mean?

Ear. Spring.

Ear like Eros?

We all have made mistakes.

But we all deserve
a second chance.

Maria, I believe

that everything starts
from falling in love.

No matter how old we are.

Elise: Up to now,
I did my job in the belief

that something good
would be achieved.

Things didn't turn out the way
I thought they would.

I talked to my partners

and I asked them
to send my replacement.

This should not affect
our initial deal.

What we agreed
on must be done,

but not by me.

We're done.

( P.A. chimes )

Man over P.A.:
Ladies and gentlemen,

as we're getting ready
for departure,

we would like to welcome you
on board

this Aegean Airlines flight
to Stockholm.

We hope you had
a pleasant stay in Greece

and we are looking forward
to welcome you again

in one of our next flights.

I waited for her
every day for a year.

She never came.

( outside chatter )

Welcome to Canada.

Sebastian:
Our first love
becomes immortal.

It defines us
and we always keep it
with us.

Sometimes fear can give birth
to the love of the moment,

which is not there to last
but to provoke change.

The love of transformation.

And then there is the love
of the second chance.

*

Because of him,
wars have been fought.

Many lives have been lost.

Entire worlds have changed.

All because no one
could ever conquer his power.

( no audible dialogue )

Sebastian:
We might be worlds apart,

but it's impossible
to fall apart

before falling together,

before recognizing something
familiar in each other,

a universal love.

The ancient Greeks
understood that power

and made love a god.

God Eros.

Run... Save yourself!

Run!

Get out of my sight!
Go to hell! You filthy scum!

I had three shops.
Three!

I had my job, my life,
my dignity.

And now
I'm struggling to survive.

Everyone I trusted...

...screwed me over.

They're all useless.

Where's my government now? Where
are all those people I voted for?

Do you know
how many times...

...those scumbags destroyed
my shops over the past years?

Five!

No insurance company
will cover me.

Do you know how much I owe due
to the damages they've caused?

A year ago the bank
took everything I had.

I have nothing...
Nothing.

Everywhere I go,
everywhere I look...

...the streets are full
of those filthy people.

Enough is enough.

I refuse to wait until things go back
to what they used to be.

I refuse to accept
that my city has come to this.

And I refuse to do nothing
about it.

I want them vanished
by any means.

I want them out
of our country.

I will support
any decision you make.

I believe racism is increasing as a result
of people being under pressure.

Hence, they don't think.
Or they 're trained not to.

- So thinking becomes a luxury?
- Yes.

When I'm in danger, for me,
thinking is a luxury.

And this applies to everyone in here,
but they don't want to admit.

Look at what happened
to Dafne!

The man who saved me that night
was an immigrant.

Not a Greek.

Your ticket, please.

It doesn't seem to be fake.

The guy who forged it has helped
many others to escape.

How can we be sure
that we won't get caught?

There's a guy on the train
and in Customs. He's in on it.

When will we have them?

It'll take some time.
Once they're ready, I'll let you know.

- Do we have another option?
- No.

Then don't think about it.
This is how it should be done.

No.

This is God Eros!

But I'm so glad that I've met you...

- What are you doing there?
- Nothing.

I was looking for some
old sleeping bags and I found them.

What do you want them for?

For Lydia.
We want to go camping.

- Daphne?
- I'm running late.

- Is there something going on?
- Like what?

You're never here,
you're always on edge.

So are you.

- Have you met someone?
- Am I not allowed to?

- I'd like to know.
- I'll tell you when I feel like it.

"Swimming".

"Food".

"Happy". "I want you".

"Hello".

"What is your name?"

"You are beautiful".

"Crisis".

"Time".

"I am in love".

"I am afraid".

"I miss you".

- When did you learn all this?
- All of this for you.

Farris...

Yes.

I miss you too,
all the time.

I am also in love.

I am also afraid.

I want to ask you
to come with me so badly...

But I can't do this
to you.

Everything is falling apart.

Did you know that they've been living
at the old airport?

They've been gun
and drug dealing.

We have complaints every day.

People are suffering!

Why are you looking at me
like that?

You are completely ignorant!
Like most of you people!

You don't realize that these parasites
don't let us live our lives anymore!

You really believe that the problem
is the immigration issue...

...or that the whole world
is changing at our expense...

...and we focus
on what they feed us?

Yes, one who becomes a fascist
is an idiot.

It leads nowhere and prevents
from noticing what's really happening.

On the one hand, they empty Syria's
chemicals in the Mediterranean.

At the risk of destroying
the whole ecosystem and tourism.

And on the other hand, they want
to enforce laws prohibiting people...

...from cultivating their land
and having access to water.

This has never happened before
in human history.

They'll control food, water...

...and soon enough common sense
will be obliterated.

Daphne?

Are you with us?

- Do you want to add something?
- No.

Why is that?

Because, the way things
have turned out...

...I don't know if it's worse
for an immigrant or for a Greek...

...to be trapped in Greece.

"I love you".

"I miss you".

"I am in love".

"I want to be with you".
"Wherever you go".

"Wherever we can be together".

I love you.

I love you too.

- Dad?
- Yes.

Is our home going through
an economic crisis?

Our country is going through
an economic crisis.

And when a country goes through
an economic crisis...

...parents stop sleeping together?

Of course not.
Why would you think that?

Then why do you sleep
every night on the couch?

Is this what happens
in every home?

- No.
- Then why is this happening in ours?

Have you broken up with mom?

No. Play!

Then since you don't sleep
with her anymore...

...can I go and sleep
in your bed instead?

No, you have your own room.
Come on now, play.

How about only when it's raining
and there's thunder?

- How many times must I tell you?
- I don't want to study!

Damn it!
I won't say it again!

- I don't care!
- Stop playing this goddamn game!

- Dad!
- You never listen!

- Dad!
- Just like your father!

Giorgos, can't you hear me?
Come out, for God's sake!

I need you, goddamn it!
I can't do everything on my own!

I can't handle
this child anymore! Come out!

Giorgos, I can't do it all
by myself!

Spyros? She asked me
to put out my cigarette.

Put it out, man.
We don't want any trouble.

Bitch.

That's why.

We're more hospitable.
We don't kick people out.

For fuck's sake.
Unbelievable.

She's throwing me out.
Fucking bitch...

- Problems at home?
- No.

Everything's fine at home.
What's up?

- Do you have a minute?
- Yes, of course.

I wanted to tell you something.
I want to ask you for a favor.

And I'm not asking you this
as a colleague, but as a friend.

What kind of favor?

Can you switch me
to your department?

Why?

Because I'm afraid
that I might get fired.

They fired eight of us
last week and...

OK, in my department
the damages are irreversible.

I don't have anyone to protect me.
There's a lot of backstabbing.

- First of all, calm down.
- I can't.

I can't afford to get fired.

I don't know what to do.

No one will touch
your department.

You've been working here
for 15 years. They trust you.

If you ask for my transfer,
they might do it.

But if I ask
for your transfer...

...that means that I'll have
to let go one of my own people.

I can't do that, Odyssea.

Could you at least
say something?

To that chick?

You're a manager.
She'll listen to you.

She doesn't have a clue
what's going on here.

- She just carries out orders.
- Odyssea...

- ...we're all on the same boat.
- Yes.

Even if I ask for something like that
they'll turn it down.

Despina is pregnant.

That's good.

That's something
that you wanted, right?

Tomorrow I'm taking her
for an abortion.

When you have so many
unnecessary accountants...

...you'll have to get rid
of half of them.

Look, I don't give a damn
that they confiscated my home.

I shouldn't have believed I could
afford to own a house anyway...

It's all my other debts...
If my wife leaves me too...

How are you doing?
Is the family OK?

We've lost touch. We should
get together some day.

If you could
please help me...

Too bad.

Because I wanted to tell you
that I'm falling in love with you.

Say you're sorry,
say you're sorry.

No, you'll have your checks
next month. I promise.

You've nothing
to be afraid of.

All this is for the company's
best interest.

Odyssea?

Odyssea!

It's a real mess, isn't it?

Departments
are being merged.

Ten more will be fired. Sure, I know
we're not yet affected by that.

But until when?

Excuse me, doesn't this
stress you out at all?

Ilias, I'm busy
and I'm not in the mood.

Yes, so I've heard.

I don't care what you've heard.
I told you, I've got work to do.

What have you heard?

Those love affairs...

You know,
they're the most tricky...

If, in fact, one can distinguish
passion from love.

No one wants them...
Everyone gossips.

Then comes all the guilt, that
we fell for the wrong person...

...and you try to find a way
to change everything...

So it's best to pretend
and look the other way.

You suffer, you miss her,
you meet in secret.

You listen to music, you want
to get away with your lover.

And you keep thinking
"It can't be. We feel the same way."

And, of course,
we keep ignoring things...

...believing that whatever happens,
we'll make it.

And then comes a day
when we hear...

...that our friend who got fired
killed himself.

And that the idiot was too weak
to handle it.

Expendable.

He's neither the first
nor the last one.

So what? Because
he asked for our help?

"Love, invincible in battle".

Odysseas' wife
just called.

They found him this morning.
He hung himself.

The funeral is tomorrow.

But she doesn't want
to see your face.

It's unfair, I know.

But that's the reality.

It's over.

"Danke!"

Anyway.

Vinaigrette, prosciutto...

...parmesan...

You eat well and we don't even
have money to buy feta cheese.

- You know?
- Thank you.

You're welcome.

We don't even have money
for cherry tomatoes.

Thanks to you.

Okay, it's not your fault.
It's just me.

No, it's okay.
I have coffee at home.

I have to go.

Out of habit.
I don't buy anything.

I have to go.

Historian!

So you know better. Won't you
give us back what you owe us?

You started two wars.

You destroyed nations.
Have you forgotten all that?

It used to be.
Now, very different.

How do I say that?

That's why you say that.

I almost forgot.
This is a patch for your back.

That's what happens
when you ride bikes at your age.

I always loved to walk around.

Watch people, observe them.

Try to figure out
if they're happy, or sad.

If they feel lonely,
just like I do.

I didn't have the chance
to do what I wanted.

I wanted to study,
but I got married, had children.

Time slipped away.

Now I'm talking to you...
You don't understand a thing, do you?

But who knows?
Perhaps you can feel me.

Soap.

Soil.

Soil.

"Occupation Compensations”.

You have such beautiful eyes...

Knowledge.

Faith.

Oh, lentils...
I almost forgot.

Dear God!
From politics to Greek tragedies.

God Eros.

Me too. If you only knew how
I long to see you every week.

Sixty.

I'm crazy.

We'll go to jail!
Let's go back, it was a mistake!

Jesus, what are we doing
at our age?

You're just as good at bribing
and then you judge us!

"Age".

"Excitement".

"Excitement".

Well done.

"Routine”.

"Imagination”.

"Guilt".

"Strength”.

"Strength”.

"Habit".

"Change".

"Denial".

No, this doesn't count.
No, I'll stop playing.

A lot.

And what if it's too late?

It's never too late.

What's this? In English?
I can't read English.

"Second chance"?

Together.

Together.

You believe that we'll be together
for so long?

I miss you. A lot.

Spring.

Spring.

These two
must be related somehow.

On Sunday
it's my grandson's birthday.

We'll all get together at home.
I'll cook roasted lamb.

We'll sit at the table,
as always.

And I'll be so happy
to have my family.

My children, my grandson,
my health.

That's just the way it is.

Then they'll leave,
I'll clear the table...

...I'll wash the dishes while
my husband watches TV.

And me, above the sink...
Wondering if I'm happy or not.

When I'm washing dishes
it's the only time I question it all.

Is this what I wanted
in my life?

I've made terrible mistakes,
Sebastian. I'm to blame.

I taught them this way.
It's all on me.

How can I change it all now?

I just need some time.

Just some time.

- Your father must not find out!
- I don't care!

I don't give a damn if they all
find out! I'm not ashamed!

- Please, I beg of you!
- What can he do to me?

You're very young. You can't destroy
your whole life over an infatuation!

You're all
a bunch of hypocrites.

All I want is to be with him.

Mom, I'm in love.

Have you ever
been in love?

Happy birthday!

Dad, Anna and I have been
separated for six months now.

You think
I don't know already?

You think I'm an idiot?
Just because I keep quiet?

I don't want to be with Anna.

The normal thing is to be
with your wife and child.

You're 40 years old.

How long, you suppose,
this fling will last?

Do what you want to do
with her...

...and once you're done,
fuckin' ditch her.

Have fun, if you need to...

...but keep your family as well.
Are you listening to me?

And don't you dare tell your mother
any of this.

She's already stressed enough
with our finances.

So, you'll come
on Sunday...

...and we'll have
a great family time, as always.

That's how I keep
my family together.

Sometimes, us parents...

...make mistakes
that may confuse you.

Why?

Because we're afraid.

Afraid of what?

- Of the truth.
- And what's the truth?

The truth is...

...that your mom and I
love you very much.

But we'll be much happier
from now on...

...if we live apart.

- Will you have your own house?
- Yes.

And you'll have
your own room there.

When will I be visiting?

Every week.
We'll make a schedule.

So you'll have two houses
and two rooms.

And I promise you that you won't lose
anything, or anyone.

Is this the truth?

- Yes.
- I don't like it.

Yes, that happens
with the truth sometimes.

We don't always like it.

But... Antonis?

I love you very much.

And from now on
I'll always tell you the truth.

So that nothing
confuses you anymore.

That's not easy.

No, it's not.

In that other house...

...will I be allowed
to come sleep in your bed...

...when it rains
and there's thunder?

When it rains
and there's thunder, yes.

- What's this?
- For protection.

You never know what can happen.
We all have one.

I don't need it.
I have my own way.

Antonis, things
have gotten out of control.

- I said, I don't want it.
- Are you afraid?

There's no reason
to be afraid.

We always have
each other's back.

We'll never leave you unprotected.
You have my word.

Maria, why is
the door locked?

Why did you lock?

- By mistake.
- What do you mean?

I locked by mistake.
What's the big deal?

Our daughter is still not back.

And she probably
won't come back tonight, either.

I keep calling her
and her phone is always off.

- Where were you?
- Out.

I don't like
that she disappears like that.

I know that
she has met someone.

I've tried to make her talk to me
about it, but she won't.

Has she told you
anything?

No.

I'll wash this myself.

The situation is out of control.
Everything is falling apart.

Have you heard about
the liquor store down the street?

Those dirty scums
robbed everything.

We missed them
this time.

They've been nesting
in every single empty building.

And this goddamn government
does nothing about it!

Did you know that they've been living
at the old airport?

They've been gun
and drug dealing.

We have complaints every day.
People are suffering!

Why are you looking at me
like that?

You are completely ignorant!
Like most of you people!

You don't realize
that these parasites...

...don't let us live
our lives anymore!

If we don't do anything about it,
then who will?

Just why do you think
I'm doing all that for?

Because you failed
in everything else.

What did you just say?

Maria, what did you say?

You think that you don't have
any responsibility whatsoever?

Are you listening?

You're my failure!

You never understood me!

Where were you
when I needed you the most?

Where were you when everything
around me was falling apart?

Everything I do, I do it
for my country and my children!

What have you done?
You've done nothing! Nothing!

Since you're so proud
for all the things that you've done...

...why don't you tell your children
what you really do...

...every time
you leave the house?

You think I don't know?

Since you're so true
to your beliefs...

...then why don't you admit them
to everyone?

I'll tell you why.

Because you're ashamed.

Because you know that deep down
you're nothing but an idiot.

A below average,
uneducated idiot...

...who tries to assert himself
using violence.

You're a fascist.

You're not doing it
for your country...

...not for your children,
not for anyone.

What do you want?
Your life as it once was?

You won't have it back,
because you don't deserve it.

You know neither how to love,
nor how to give.

The only thing you know
is to cause harm.

Why should I feel sorry
for you?

Why should you be the victim and not
all the people you hurt and destroy?

And you want
a medal for all this?

I don't ever want
to see you again.

I'm glad
I'm your failure.

And I'm sorry it took me
so long to realize.

But don't ever, ever dare
to use our children...

...as an excuse
for what you've become.

You think you are
any different from them...

...crooked politicians
you curse at every day?

You've become
exactly like them!

Exactly like them!

Yes.

When?

OK, I'll be there.

Yes.

Yes...

Yes.
