Isn't the time to learn a song already?

Impossible! We're not ready yet.

First we learn the notes, and then the song.

Doctor, I m in awful pain! I can't stand it anymore!

- Do you have blood in your urine? - No!

You Athena?

Rest for a while mr Stelio!

Maybe you should stop the treatment for some time.

I can't do that.

I would become the bad examble for those who take the medicine.

Noone will find out.

They will.

I can stand the pain.

I'll carry on!

Look!

Can you do that again?

- Tricks are for one time only! - One more!

- Did you see it now? - Yes!

Come!

- Anna? - Yes!

Let him in!

Thank you!

Mrs Vandoulaki?

- May I come in? - Please!

May I treat you something?

- No, thank you! - Coffee?

- No. - A cup of tea?

- Yes, please. - We do have liqueur.

- Tea. - Tasia! A cup o tea please.

Right away!

Your mother in law told me that you're planing to do some

changes in the house.

- Where do we start? - From here!

Fine! I've brought some samples to take a look...

Not yet...

Let us have the tea first, ok?

Sit!

- Eugenia look out, you'll burn! - I didn't feel it!

Ok!

It smells great, isn't it?

I'm the best in cooking!

- That's the reason I chose you! - Really?

And I have a surprise for you afterwards.

So have I!

What?

Good or bad?

Anyway, as for the fabrics...

you may choose a little bit more dark colors.

More light qualities.

Only from France, right?

You may choose, like we said, pure silk...or dark!

What do you think?

- Which it will match. - What is it your perfume?

Sandalwood.

Sandalwood!

You should inform me where you purchased it, to buy one for my husband.

Gladdly.

Of course, this samples are the most expensive fabrics.

I have another catalogue with some...less expensive.

No,no. I think I'll choose the quality.

These are great shades. So did this.

This one.

Sure.

So, I told him that we can't hide forever!

That I can't discomfort my friend every time

neither I want to be afraid for my brother not to see us together.

Pick a date to propose me.

You should have been there to look the way he gazed at me.

-And what did he answer you. - Nothing.

He gave me this!

- What's this? - A family relic.

It was his mother's.

He will come to propose me, cause now I hold his family's seal.

- Excuse me? - His family's crest.

- So he will come? - Of course!

Way to go Fotini, way to go.

I'm really happy for you. Bravo!

The best pan cakes...

I have ever eat.

What you' ve got for me?

What's this?

For me?

From your daughter.

My daughter?

And you're puting me in hold for so long?

Don't get furstrated Eugenia, I didn't now how to tell you.

My dearest Mom,

I'm so happy uncle Georgi told me

that you haven't passed away, like I thought.

Still, I don't know why you didn't write any letter.

We do go to school and Mrs Areti

teach us how to read and write.

I' m the best here in village with songs, is what my teacher says.

And if one day they will find a medicine and come home, I'll tell you everything.

I want to see you so much.

Everyone say that I'm grown up and become really beautiful.

How are you?

The hairs which are wrapped in this paper are my owns.

I remember you loved brushing them so I send you a few.

I didn't say to father that I wrote you because he might get mad.

Are you dawdling again Leuteris?

He's furious all the time.

We keep this secret with uncle Georgi.

I love you mommy, and I will be very happy if you write me back.

Don't forget me!

Athena.

Do you see this from this distance?

Doctor, I want to take the medicine too.

Is it possible?

I asked you something.

Helectra, we haven't evaluate the treatment yet.

Apart from all the pros I mentioned, we did have some negative symptoms.

That's why I can't set in danger more lives.

Yes, but if I lose my sight...

I want have anything to live for.

I can't imagine myself that way.

How is your feance?

Fine.

I didn't tell him that I'll be here not to upset him.

Yes, but you can't be a couple only in happy times but in bad times too.

- I got it. - What?

That I'll lose my sight.

Am I talking to myself? Didn't I tell you, patience and optimism ?

At least now we do have something importand.

And Kyritsis will fight to the end to accomplish this.

Do you know how many years am I here?

A lot.

And despite the fact that I walk among you I still remain healthy.

You may say that I'm lucky, and I will reply: I don't think about it anymore.

I always looking ahead with optimism.

Sometimes that's more efficient than medicines.

Do you agree?

You should be happy that your kids are alright, not cry.

They're complaining for not writing to them all those years.

They didn't receive any of those.

How is this possible?

All those letters, all those money, where have it gone?

Nikitas told me

that your husband was receiving your letters properly.

Hand to hand.

Why is he punishing me this way?

Excellenent. You have talent, do you know that?

Really?

My teacher never say so.

Oh yeah?

You should listen to me!

Before I got here I've never seen the piano in my life.

- I've never seen a lot of things before I met you. - And I haven't seen you.

But I knew, from the first time I saw you, that you would become my wife.

Do you want to take a ride?

I'm working in the morning.

- Money doesn't drop from the sky. - From the sky...

Here we go again..

Why don't you go out for a walk...

instead of tiring your eyes with this emproidery that late?

- Where should I go? - To your girl friend.

- I'm going to bed in a while. - Me too.

Yes, but you're a young woman!

I don't want you to be with me all the time!

Don't you want me?

Of course I do, you're my child.

But it's not proper...

Youth should be with youth and old ones with old ones.

May I tell you something?

But promise not to tell anyone.

Deal.

Stephanos will come next week to propose Fotini at her father's house.

- Stephanos who? - Stephanos...

...who works with Antoni at Vandoulakis.

Nice, very nice!

So long Fotini, ha?

Ha?

Look who's here!

What's this?

Is that how I asked you to bring it? Give it to me!

Give it to me!

Get inside!

Thought you were going to go away with it!

Sit down!

You! I'm going to cut your hair clean!

- Paul, what happened? - Hush!

What's all these airs and graces?

Interactions with lovers in the middle of the village?

- What's going on in here? - Shut up!

Where's the letter, where's the letter!

- Here, here, here. - Let me see!

- "My dear Round Bums... - Ahhh!

Shut up!

- Paul! - Hush!

"Round bums...."

"don't get mad....just teasing you, he he..."

"he he"?

Hush!

"I've got you a surprise at noon."

"I'll be waiting for you in our olive tree, same time."

"Kisses everywhere, Stephanos."

- Everywhere? - Stephanos?

Paul, for the love of God, don't!

- I'll kill you! - Don't!

This will save us all. Leave me! Leave me!

Father, father!

Bacillus seems to be affective. I see a slight reduce.

May I see?

Did everyone took the new dosage during the last week?

All six of them.

I need new samples from them.

Athena?

- Have you notice any other side-effects? - No, doctor.

But the pain is unbareable day by day.

My bones are aching and I feel like old woman.

Patience. Be patient Athena. We're in a good way..

- I see no difference. - Look closely.

If the tests of the other patients have the same indications

we'll have to expand the group of therapy.

Find new volunteers.

Christo!

Dimitri?

I'm over here, fishing!

Helectra?

I'm afraid she starts not to see.

I'm really sad.

And I can't hide it from her, she figures me out right away.

That's why, when the situation gets tough, I grap my rod and come here,

Talk to the sea and burst out.

Leaving all behind.

With Eugenia?

How are you doing?

Perfect you know.

I do care a lot about her.

Do you know that?

I do.

I think she cares about you too.

Hi Antoni!

- Hi Georgi. - Hi.

- Didn't Lapakis come? - I go get him afterwards.

When you do, tell him that he needs to examine my daughter.

- She has a strong cough and a fever. - Really?

I could examine your girl.

Excuse me, you must be the other doctor.

- Kyritsis Nikolaos. - Kapetanakis Vasilis.

Eugenia's husband.

Shall we?

Wish you the best.

One more!

- You're the doctor from the island, right? - Yes.

- One of the two. - I didn't know it had two doctors.

Did you know father?

Deep breath!

Do you know my mother?

Yes I do.

Take a deep breath.

One more.

Doctor, may I ask you something?

I haven's seen my mom...

since I was 4 years old.

I can't recall her well, just a little.

Do I look like her?

Yes, you do like her.

Lift up....

Take a deep breath.

- Does my mom know to read? - Stop with the questions.

Yes, I think she does. Turn around.

- How about writing? - Athena!

Does she, doctor?

Get me your son too.

Why?

Thank you.

My beloved kids,

It's been two weeks since I wrote you, but don't think that I forgort you.

You're in my thinking all the time.

Each night, when I fall in bed, I close my eyes

and bring your image in my mind, and I feel you're here.

I hope this letter does reach to you.

I want you to behave wise, and not upset your father.

I'm praying to Virgin Mary to look after you. I miss you so much.

I feel happy when I'm thinking of getting a letter from you

I kiss you, and love you so much.

Your mom.

What's wrong?

Why are you looking so down?

Nicko...

Eugenia's kids are sick.

What do you mean sick?

You know.

Both of them?

Nikolas examine them yesterday in Plaka...

and the tissue samples are possitive.

You must find a way to tell this to their mom.

They must soon get them here to the island.

How about their father?

He doesn't know anything yet.

Do you prefer me to tell her?

I know nothing yet.

Nicko?

You must tell Eugenia as soon as possible. I'll tell this to their father.

Doctor, I've heard that you're preparing a new volunteers list for the medicine.

Is it true?

How do you know?

- What's get you with this vase? - I can't see.

One more word from you,

- and I'll throw you to the see. - Stop talking!

Sit down!

Good afternoon

- Welcome to our house. - It's good to be here.

Sit down son.

- I brought you some raki from my village. - Why? What's wrong with our raki?

No...nothing.

Vasilli, the tests were possitive.

So?

Both your children have leprosy.

What should I do?

Send them as soon as possible to their mother in the island.

Be patient.

I want to mary her and make her my wife.

I' m not a ritch man, but I'm not afraid working and...

I give you my word that she will have everything she wants.

That simple, ha?

- Paul! - Shhh! Hush.

I don't bite anything you say.

The tavern belongs to our daughter,

and I won't let any scum to come and get it.

So listen very carefully.

Before I give you my daughter, you'll come to work in the tavern.

Unpaid...

for as long as I say.

Before you become a member of this family, I'll test you.

On Sundays, when you don't work for Vandoulaki

you'll be here for work at six sharp.

And by nights you'll help with the dishes.

Deal?

What's wrong. Cat ate your tongue?

Thank you.

- Like it? -It's nice, husband.

Cheers to what?

To a good corp?

I'd like to take me for a walk more often.

and stop thinking so much about work.

Without it, Anna, we couldn't go for a walk.

Don't start again, please.

Anna, Anna is that you?

- Doctor? - I hardly recognized you.

- After so long, ha? Are you ok? - I'm fine.

Just fine.

- And you must be the husband. - Antreas Vandoulakis. Hallo.

I know your wife since...she was so little. Her father....

- is the ferryman with whom we come and go to... - Mr Christos Lapakis is a doctor in

Plaka and Elounta. And when we were young he was performing tricks for us.

- Remember the tricks doctor? - Are you joking?

If it weren't for that, you wouldn't stay quiet to examine you.

Your father-in-law has a great sympathy for you. You should know that.

Me too.

- Come sit with us. - thank you but...

my company waits for me over there. Thank you.

Nice seeing you. Bon appetite.

- Good night. - Goodnight.

- Where does your father go the doctor by boat? - From Plaka to Elounta.

What should we eat?

Rubbish. If the English weren't interfere with us,

we could have come through with the civil war.

If we did have luck of a proper Authority

to give us the right directions,

then no foreigners would interfere with our country.

It's been ten years since we last vote.

Sure! As if it's government's fault.

I think you forgot already the neckings and the bargains with the Germans ha?

Who was selling his house for a can of oil? A German?

No, it was a Greek, goddamn our race! A Greek one!

- Father, leave it be... - Goddamn traitors, I'm furious.

- Vasilli, are you ok? - Georgi...

spare me.

Suite yourself.

Hey! Will you bring me some raki?

It's so cold tonight.

I have to go. I must get some food to Dimitri.

Wouldn't be a good idea to bring your stuff here?

Some day.

When the time comes.

What's wrong?

Kyritsis, the doctor...

examine your kids.

And?

They must come here.

They're both sick.

Ok Vasilli, that's enough. Come.

Time to go home ok?

Poor guy.

Father! Father!

Wake up!

Is he alive?

Of course, he's breathing.

Get up!

Come on, get up, you're late for the bakery. Get up.

Your shirt stinks, should I take off?

Come on, get up!

Get up!

- Why can't we go to school? - Because!

Do we have to be locked up in the house whenever you get mad?

- We have work to do today. - What kind of work?

Drink your milk and I'll tell you...

The doctor that examined you the other day...

said that now you can go to the island and see your mother.

But only the sick ones go there.

I'd like to see mom but I don't want to get sick and die.

- you won't get sick. - I'm afraid. I'm not going.

And if we get infected, then what?

Doctor said you have already the disease.

And those who have it, can't get much more infected.

- Leuteri! - I don' t want to go!

Leave me!
