Good morning!

Hi! Goodmorning, Alexis!

welcome,

- I'll get you some coffee! - I'll get it, thank you!

About the couple and the little girl,

how things worked out?

Did they arrest them?

The police unleashed to look for them, but found nothing!

They never found them!

Later we found out

that they've gone to a village near Heraclion all weary,

ass they passed by mountains and gorges!

Solomonides had a friend there,

who hid them to his place for some time until they stop chasing them.

Later, I found out that they have ended up...

to a village near Athens, among strangers.

Over there, Helen went to school.

When Helen grew up,

she came to Spinalonga,

to visit her birth place.

Believe it or not, my dear Alexis,

the police man that found baby's little shoe, Helen's shoe,

had it with him and gave it to her!

Gianni, look!

They told her that... they were afraid to touch it 'cause it was, a shoe...

of a leper child!

And then she told them that she was never sick.

But Stauro's, Calliope's and child's story,

was all along forgotten but the government,

cut off leper's allowance.

NO MORE TRADING WITH ANY TRADERS TILL OUR REQUESTS WILL BE ACCEPTED BY THE GONVERMENT

- God knows what will come of us! - We came here for nothing, Paul!

- What should we do? - The merchandise will raught!

Hey, anybody?

It wasn't a lighltly decision to lock the gates!

I'm aware of the consequences!

But so far, I can't find any other solution!

Is there any other way to convinse the gonvernment to pay off our allowances?

And what if they don't?

We're already sick, should we also starve to death?

If you want to press the gonvernment, we must revolt!

We should go aross Plaka and drink water from their wells!

- Then you' ll see! - Here we go again!

Makridaki!

He have no problem with the people who lives across the island!

And what about hospital? If the medicines will run out,

we'll a face a serious problem.

Without razors, you will all be unshaven!

-Vande, you're "out-to-lunch"! - Vande, get serious!

This isn't the time for jokes!

Plaka's people and all the villages around, are living cause of our allowances.

If they, as well, press the situation, then the ministry

will have one more reason to react!

Let's raise more black flags!

Just for them to see us! Better to starve,

than live in such wretchedness!

We must resist, can't you see that?

Are you younger or older than your sister?

- She's older than me, two years. - Really?

How come and didn't get married?

Just fate!

I'm curious!

Every guy should like to marry her!

You don't meet such girls nowadays!

Maria is looking after my father and she's totally focused on him!

- I don't think she wants to get married. - Her time will come.

The other day she saw me in Antoni's tavern, and I was totally wasted!

- What would she thinks of me? - That you're totally crazy.

I should get her some flowers!

- What are her favourite flowers? - Artichokes!

- Anna? - Herbs!

Close enough.

She uses to pick them on the mountain and make herb tea for my father.

- Her friend, Fotini gave a birth! - I've heard so!

I've ordered a few clothes for the baby. I'll take it when I go back to Plaka.

It's not right to go with empty hands!

- Do you want to go together? - Sure!

Anna, would you like to see your father?

Clean the pots!

Kostas will also coming from Elounta at 11 O' clock!

Don't forget it, like the other day with Asimakis

And check out the barley for weeds!

- Are you paying any attention? - Sure I do, give me a break!

Any news about the blockage? Is it going to last long enough?

If they won't get paid by the gonvernment, they won't end this!

- And what about us? - How should I know?

- Is it wrong for asking? - Yes it is!

You should go and get ready, it's almost dark!

- I am ready! - Shss, you're disturbing the baby!

My baby! Take a look of what a man I create!

You didn't!

If he's whining give him some chamomile but not too much!

Just put some raki in his lips and he'll be fine!

Hush father! I'll be back in a couple of hours!

- Whenever you want, I don't mind! - And don't carrying him a lot, ok?

Just take a look of how we are when we born just to end up like this!

And like this, just like you!

Like you, you moron! At least I'm eating greens!

Watch your mouth cause I'll beat you so much that you won't be able to get through the door!

- You hear me? - Leave!

- Shush! - Leave!

I'm going nuts with you, but you just can't stop talking!

I'll hold you besides your mother's advise, heh?

Helectra, I'm going to church, do you want anything?

I'll wait for you, don't be late!

- I will peel the potatoes! - Go now!

Do you want me to get you anything?

Nothing aunt!

Just, take care!

Ok, ok.

You're too hot!

Have you seen Leuteris?

No.

He doesn't want to hear a word.

- He's full of anger! - Relax!

Athena, go get a wet towel with vinegar and place it to your mother's forhead.

I'll be back in ten minutes, I should go get some calmaline.

Come!

Sit!

Is it right wandering in the streets while you're mother is sick?

Don't you think it's right for you as the oldest one to be there and treat her?

- I don't care! Even if she dies! - Mind your words, aren't you ashame?

No, I'm not!

Too bad!

I thought grew up and that I could trusted you!

But as far as I can see, you're just another stubborn and spoiled one!

Eugenia is too sick!

Where is calmaline?

What is all this blood?

I told you not to work with knives when you're alone!

I can't do anything by myself anymore...

I don' t want such life!

Hush now!

Hold this tight.

I want you to stop pitty me!

I pitty you?

- I live and breath for you! - I don't want you to live for me.

I don't!

I'm not a leper!

What do you mean, you're not a leper?

The doctors were wrong.

You're lying!

You're lying!

Mom!

Leuteri, go get some help! Go!

Mom, talk to me! Help! Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Leuteri, I said go!

Mom, talk to me!

Talk to me please!

Don't you die mom, sweet mom, don't you die!

- leuteri, why are you running? - I'm going to hospital, to get the doctor!

- Why? - My mom, is very sick...

Please, go there!

It was a cold January night.

The wind was blowing, benting the trees.

Sweeping leaves and trash.

Suzan went back home, jaded.

Despite her tiredness, she was still pretty and shiny.

Waiting for her bathtub with essenses to fill up with water,

she poured a glass of red wine.

The bath was ready. She got herself in full of grace.

She left herself in the warmth of the water, and as she was relaxing recollecting George,

loose as she was cause of the wine, she felt his hot breath on her neck.

His tongue, licking inch by inch her smooth neck.

She felt a chill running through her body.

No, she wouldn't wait any longer.

His daily presence, his glances full of meaning

was upseting her over and over. Why didn't he take the first step?

Was he afraid of her reaction or was he waiting her sign to move on?

She took a deep breath and decided to act immediately.

Athena, what happened?

- She died. - What are you talking about?

My mom died!

- She's dead. - Eugenia?

Eugenia, wake up!

I said wake up, wake up!

- Eugenia! - Mom!

Wake up!

Eugenia!

Mom?

Thank God.

- What are you doing here? - Leuteris called me out.

- Leuteris? - he went to call the doctor.

Mom!

He's coming.

- Is she alright? - Yes.

You scared me to death. Don't you ever do it again!

Sleep tight babe. Sleep my handsome man.

- Manoli! - Sorry. I came uninvited.

You don't need an invitation to come.

- Is this the son? - Yes.

- He's a whole man. - Thank you.

- I wish you the best. - Thank you so much.

- Will you come in? - I don't want to cause you any trouble.

I just came to wish you. 'Cause the last time I was totally wasted.

- Nonsences. Come in. - Thank you.

This is for the kid.

- Thank you, you shouldn't have. - It shouldn't be right to come with empty hands.

I have no clue about babe clothes so I ordered it from Athens.

I don't know if they are too big.

Well if they don't fit him this year, they will next year.

In any case, he will wear them before he joins the army.

Who's this?

Mom, this is Manolis.

- Manolis who? - Manolis, Vandoulakis.

Andrea's cousin.

Wellcome to our humble home.

I'm very pleased to meet you. You must be mrs Savina.

- Yes, that's me. - Pleased to meet you.

Me too, me too.

You're so tall, like your cousin!

Andreas and Anna was about to come but somethin occured to them.

You caught cold and had a fever spasm.

The sickness though hasn't deteriorated and that's a very good news.

Why am I having this fever for so long?

Because you were upset and found your organism weak.

- You'll need love and tenderness. - So, she will be ok?

If you'll be giving her a sweet kiss each of you every morning, noon and night.

She will be just fine.

I will give them to her.

It will be needed a boy and a girl kiss.

You hear me?

Christo!

- Thank you. - President.

Is this how you wander from house to house?

Should I give you the first kiss?

- Mrs Savina, this is delicious. - Thank you.

Stafanos? Antonis? Where are they?

Stefanos is in the tavern. Antonis went to Elounta.

You're too causy here.

- Mrs Savina, I envy you. - Me? Why?

You have a very beautiful family.

What more should anyone ask for his life?

God bless you child. It's true, I don't complain.

And I thank God for what He's giving to me.

And I wish the same to you.

I wish so. Cheers.

- Mom? - Yes?

I was thinking of going in the tavern with Manolis, and treat him.

- Yes, yes. Do that. - Take the baby.

How are they tollerating this situation without food for so long, poor fellows

Where will this situation lead?

Man can survive George.

He has a lot of power inside him and when needed he calls them forth

Right.

Stefane, I left you the money over here.

Enjoy and get me the news.

You don't have such fishes over your place. They were alive when I put them on the pan.

- Join me. - Yes. let me bring some raki.

So? Is this Maria on mr George boat?

Yes.

Since when do your village's women go for fishing?

She doesn't.

- They delivered supplies over there... - Stefane?

- Yes? - Come and check the fire.

- Excuse me. - Go on.

What were you about to say?

Vandoulakis family doesn't know the relation of her family with Spinalonga.

Oh my God! Thank God you stopped me.

- Goodnight. - So long,

One more for good appettite.

I'm so glad to see you.

Right away this time, not like the other day.

Don't make me feel bad.

Just kidding.

- Where's the baby? - With my mother.

You should see the presents Manolis fetched him.

- You do such things? - Wait and see.

Come, sit,

Should I buy you something? There..

Mullet, whole fresh. They were alive before cooked.

I hope you didn't cook them with the scales on?

That's what he said.

See what a man can do to earn his living?

Maria? Oh! Manolis.

- How are you? - Mr George.

- Come, join us. - I must go home first, maybe later if you still here.

- Do you know to play backgammon? - I say, give it a break

and let's take the girls and go for a walk!

[ cretan rime] I saved a lot of raki, and drink it to our health

for not kneel down, now that we re on strike.

He acts like he doesn't hear anything, you see. He has his doors closed. Cheers to us.

He's deaf.

Well, we will make him hear. Understand?

You act like you don't hear heh? But you will hear, you will!

What are you thinking?

I want you to leave Spinalonga.

You're not serious.

I mean it.

If you trully love me, you will.

You'll leave Spinalonga.

Don't ask me such thing.

I can't see you Dimitri.

I can't see you.

- It's not my fault. - And I thought I was invincible.

Andreas can' t win a single game.

Let me win at least in a game.

- Welcome. - I welcome the princesses.

So, should we go?

How is Anna. I haven't seen her since her wedding.

She's just fine. She's taking a piano lessons,

- she's doing the household. - Don't tell me she's cooking?

Of course not. She just change the curtains and couche's fabrics.

She is changing every old things with new.

As long as she doesn't change her husband with a new one!

Stefane!

- Relax. It was a joke. - I don't like that kind of jokes.

See how she treats me?

- It wasn't a nice thing to say. - Why not?

So! Are you going to act the same when you get married?

- And why do you care? - What if I do?

You asked for it.

Goodnight.

Goodnight,

Excuse me... sorry for asking.

Are you going to sleep that early?

I wake up early in the morning, and yes, I use to go to sleep this time.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Anyway...

- We had a great time, right? - Yes.

And thank you for everything.

- For what? - For the walk.

For the dessert...

For the company.

Goodnight then...

Maria...

Each time I'm coming here in Plaka, I feel a whole different person.

You all are so authentic.

So different from others.

I'm glad you said that.

I'm very pleased to meet you.

- Goodnight then? - Sure, goodnight.

Who's there?

Who's there?

What are you doing there?

I'm looking for my hen.

Shame on you. The hen is mine, you can't have it. Are you stealing me?

- I'm not a thief, I'm not! - Leave the hen, or else I'll choke you.

Leave me, leave me alone.

- Give back my hen. - I want her to give eggs to feed the child.

- Leave me alone. - Give me back my hen.

You'll choke the hen and I want her for the eggs.

No, no, give me my hen! - Not the hair.

- My hair! - My hen, my hen!

- Give my hen. - It's my hen.

This is my hen!

- What are you doing, leave me! - What are you doing? Why are you fighting?

- What are you fighting for? Stop it! - My hen!

- All this for a hen? - It's mine.

So this is who we are? To fight for a hen?

Marika...

Noone wins from this strike. Tell us what are you planning to do!

- When will you end it? - The shop has empty shelves.

We've had enough president. I have nothing in the coffee place, I locked it down.

I don't know who will win in the end, if we all die from starvation Nicko.

How shall so many sick people will stand for so long?

I'm not pitty for them. After all, it was their decision.

And what should we do, just stand and watch?

When does the ministry send the allowances?

We will wait for awhile to see what the Perfect say

If no material comes to bind their wounds,

I'm afraid they soon start die.

Are you listening to this Papadimitriou?

If they planned to go on strike, why did they set their orders in the first place?

I've got a dozen lamps hanging on crooks! What should I do with them?

Give them to this moron, since he's eating meat every day.

At least, I'm not farting all day long cause of the bean soups.

Give us a break, you fool tapster.

Even your own men condemn the strike.

Look, I'm always the best on rebelions, but I'm not willing to die off it.

Makridakis... the gates shall remain closed.

And they will be opened when I say so.

Those who give up, never win.

Noone gives a dime about us, we shouldn't wait for Prefect's responce.

Yeah right. I bet they're shopping from Agios Nikolaos.

What about my five lambs! What to do with them?

- A dozen you said earlier. - Shut up 'cause I'll smash your head.

Shh, we should look for a solution. I'm hearing.

I' ll throw them over the sea.

Once more we're argueing because of them.

- Do you want to play a game? - We've got work to do!

Let's just talk!

Yeah, and then I'm going to Plaka in order to feel better.

You liked the village, mind if I say?

I liked Maria.

What are you talking about?

I'm trying to convince my cousin to say how the matchmaking goes with your sister.

I don't need matchmaking. I choose my woman by myself.

Yeah, I know.

but you must admit that it was my wife's idea to meet with Maria.

I do and I'm really grateful.

Anna, thank you from the bottom of my heart

You should buy her a gift.

Let's drink some raki. I go fetch it.

- Tasia. - What's new sweetheart?

Fine.

- Excuse me, mr. Prefect's office? - Upstair.

Mr. Prefect...

- Some other time. - Mr. Prefect.

I brought you a couple of fishes, and they got smelly after that much delay.

May you give me some time to talk to you?

- And you are? - The ferryman who trades with Spinalonga.

I don't mind of the delay...

but I do mind for all these people, who are waiting so long over there in Spinalonga,

for the State to send them their allowance and medicines.

And why do you care?

Why do I care?

I do, because these people want to die with dignity.

It's not your ears that hear the bell tolls from their graveyard,

but mines.

Mr. Prefect,

give them the allowance now or finished them once and for all.

Stop torturing them, it's pitty.

Come to my office.

The fruits raughted, to hell with them!

I'm waiting here for too long, just take a look.

And our children are starving, what about them. The fishes are stinking.

It's our problem too, doesn't the ministry knows

that we live 'cause of their allowance?

I don't think they will come, we're waiting in vain.

- But Prefect gave his word. - Yeah right.

Stay out of troubles.

They do came!

We wait for Prefect over five hours, not you. Are playing with us?

Let us through.

You're coming only when you want the votes. Shame on you!

Where is the president?

Inside!

- So, you decided to come? - Did you bring the allowances?

- Where is our money? - Pano!

- Which of you is the Prefect? - Pano. Easy, easy.

As we all know, our country after the civil war is on

a very unstable political period, of economic crisis...

- Gents, if you came here... - Let me finish...

If, you came here to quote the economical problems of our country

in order to make me move by, then you're mistaken. I've got more serious problems to solve.

I'm responsible for these people's souls in here.

The villages across, are on the verge of economic misery,

and the reason is the blockage that YOU led them to.

Are you serious? Do you realize that people here are dying

without medical treatment?

And you're telling me to feel sorry for the healthy residents of Crete?

You're all free men,

we're in here, inside, locked and dying each day,

in order to protect you and your families

instead of treat us as your first priority

you're acting as if you're dealing with abominations.

Let's say that the blockage is over.

How will people buy? They don't have a single penny.

- Sir listen to me... - YOU listen to me.

I won't stop the blockage,

unless I get a written quarantee that we'll get the allowances.

and these are my last words.

Makridakis,

go get some raki to treat the gentlemen 'cause we upset them.

Know, I'm all ears.

Helectra?

Helectra!

- What are you going to do? - Don't come any closer.

You want to leave me alone? Why?

Demitri, I want you to leave this island...

I want you to live free, with a normal life.

It won't be a normal life without you, right?

But I'm sick... I'm blind...

Can't you see? There's no life left for me.

I sadly would like to inform you that a few minutes ago

I got a letter from the government.

Tomorrow they will send the two-month allowances that they owe to us.

Good evening...

Anna?

Come closer.

- Do you have any problem with me? - Me, what problem?

Since your sister were here, you've changed...

- You have changed. - In what way?

What are you doing?

Thank God they get the flags off!

Thank God, thank God! The blockage is over!

It's time for me to get my coffees paid...

- Thank God! - Georgi, we're saved!

Let aside the feast and let's load the boat.

Constante, now we should drink.

As soon as you pay me your debt, right?

I will, Constante, I will...

- Manoli? - Hi Maria.

- Are you by yourself? - Yes.

- For me? - Yes.

Thank you!

What a beautiful smile!

Tell me that you're happy to see me...

If that pleases you, why not? I don't like to upset my friend.

I mind only the second saying,

Come, take a seat.

What brings you here?

I came to ask you...

if you want to take a ride with me to Neapolis.

- The two of us? - Yes.

- It's hard... - Leave it to me!

- Do you want? - Why not!

Where's your father?

If he's done with fishing, he should be in the tavern.

Where are you going?

To ask him a favor.

So mr Georgi, I've traveled all over the world,

and couldn't settle down nowhere. No country earned me.

And no whoman made me believe that I could

start a new life with her... a life.

It's not easy to find your man, Manoli!

Either it's easy to settle down in a foreign country since our is the best.

Even if she pesters us.

As for women, there are lot of good worthy and beautiful,

but only one is our fate.

I agree! And I'm sure I found the best.

The woman I'd like to marry is Maria, your daughter.

Do you accept?
