The woman I want to marry, is Maria your daughter. Do you accept?

What?

- Maria... Maria! - Yes!

Maria!

- Are you ok? - I'm fine!

Are you sure?

- Shouldn't you be on the boat? - Later.

- I came to tell you the good news. - Are you drunk?

Just a sip or two, 'cause of the occasion, maybe more.

For what?

- Guess what, guess. - I don't want to, I want you to tell me.

Maria, Maria !

Manolis, Vandoulakis,

he asked me to marry you.

- When, where? In the streets? - A few seconds ago.

We were hanging on the tavern and he spit it out.

And what was your answer?

What else?

Your wish of course.

It's yours, the dawn's star,

but look after it.

I can't believe it.

- And where's Manolis now? - In Nepolis.

He invited us on Sunday for the formal proposition.

Marry sweetheart !

Family....

I'm getting married!

- You're joking. - Sure don't.

I'm getting married, her sister.

- Now we're related with Petrakis for the 2nd time. - Are you serious?

Yes! I've already asked her from her father.

When did all this happened, 'cause we haven't a clue.

Today.

- Are you sure for this decision? - Yes uncle. And I want your wish.

- Nice, cousin, nice. - Well done boy, bravo.

Wish you the best!

How about you father from now on?

Don't worry about me.

I'll stay here.

I've still got a lot of work here.

Maria, the Island needs me.

And as far as I'm able to go over there with my boat, I do it.

I only care about you,

Manolis proposed me heh!

Shh! You'll wake him up.

He proposed to me.

Manolis asked me from my father, he wants to marry me.

- What? - Shh! You'll wake up the baby.

No more such fishes, now we'll have only fresh from my father in law.

- Whole fresh! - Cheers cousin.

Cheers.

Delicious, God bless you aunt.

- What's going on Leuteris? - Fine!

Welcome!

Demitris told me that you wanted to talk to me!

And I've heard that you're the best student in your class.

Especially in essays.

I'm fun of writing stories.

So I was right to call you.

You do know that Calliope's Stauros was in charge of the newspaper's edition.

But now that he's gone...

we will need young people to keep on with it.

Mr Couris,

will be in charge of the edition and he'll need help.

So, I was thinking

maybe you would like to help us,

and you'll get paid too.

What you say?

You're doing this, 'cause you like me?

or my mom;

- Welcome. - Hallo to you too.

Welcome again.

Hallo Manolis.

Welcome mr. Georgi. - Hallo.

Maria, I'm so happy.

Come, you've already now the place.

Come Maria, I'm so glad you came.

I still remember your little sister back then, whe she came for her marriage.

- Welcome you all. - Hallo Antreas.

Hi Maria. Welcome mr Georgi.

- Hallo to you too. - Wish you the best Maria.

I wish you the best.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Welcome to our family Maria.

Thank you.

I'm sure your daughter

will make our nephew happy.

My daughter has a lot of love to give.

Your father...

agreed to accept this proposition.

You?

Speak!

Do you want to be my wife?

Yes!

Yes. She said yes?

She said yes, she said yes!

Tasia, fetch the raki!

Come! Let's sit,

Sit, sit Mary!

- Tasia, come to treat us. - Come on Tasia.

My sister,

I wish you the best!

Congratulations sister, congratulations!

- Thank you! - Welcome father.

I'm really happy to see you again.

- Congratulations Manolis. - Thank you.

- Come, let's drink! Come. - Yes, yes.

- Cheers to you! - Cheers to all!

Cheers Maria.

Anyway, I think this wedding,

should be as soon as possible. Let's say, next week.

Are you serious Manolis? Do you know what preparations is needed for a wedding?

What?

You're hasty nephew. Don't forget that I'm the lord here.

The wedding should be as your parents wanted.

You're right uncle. The wedding should be in time with all it's preparations.

The engagement and the feast though, should be as soon as possible in Plaka,

- to honor mr Georgi. - We'd be glad to!

Cheers, mr Georgi!

When we'll settle, we'd like you to come and live with us.

Oh, no Manolis. I won't leave my house nor my village.

- We've talked about it right? - As long as you'll come visit us.

- as often as possible. - I will. Won't I?

- Besides, we'll be coming to Plaka often, right? - Yes.

- Almost every day. - Yes.

But then you'll have enough of me.

Anna, are you happy that now you'll enjoy your sister's company?

Sure do. Congratulations Maria.

- Thank you. - To a happy wedding!

Loneliness makes me sad Niko. Alone, in a house full of haunted memories.

- Goodmorning mr President. - Goodmorning.

Why are you playing alone? Don't you have any company?

- No. Do you want to play with me? - Together?

Is that your new place?

Yes it is.

And you have it cause you're president?

- You like it so much Athena? - Mmm, the best I've ever seen.

So, you'd like to live in such a nice place?

- I'm not a president. - Yes, but you're his friend.

Mmm. I see what's your point.

You do? And what's that?

- You want us to live here, 'cause... - Because?

Nah! I'm not telling you.

I' m only worried about my father, that he'll be alone.

You're silly. We are here. We will look after him.

My parents are also here. Besides, you're not like your sister.

You should be here all the time. You won't forget your own people, I'm sure.

I'm not sure Photeini.

Ah, Maria. It's time to get married.

Your father knows that. And he's very happy.

To hell with you, you gave me a headache. Goddamn you.

At least couldn't you be sweet-voiced?

The rooster that got drowned the other day was better than you.

And I was happy about that. At least I cooked him with rice.

So, tell me about Anna. Was she happy?

Sure. Afterall, she arranged it from the beginning.

Arranged? What are you talking about? It was love at first sight.

Yeah, but she said to Antreas to invite me, in order to meet Manolis.

When we went to that feast.

- Who told you that? - Antreas, in front of everyone.

Really!

Only by the thought that her sister would marry Manolis...

she were loosing her minds. And she was so jealous.

She loved him more than her sister.

It's passion, daughter...

you never know in which dark places it will lead you.

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

Maria, I wish you to be happy, and a happy wedding too.

- Thank you. - Come, let's go.

- Congratulations. - God bless you child.

My nephew told me that

- you have a little baby. I wish you the best. - Thank you! Thank you! Anna?

She got sick out of the blue and couldn't come.

Oh, so sad.

How was it?

Aren't you sleeping?

It was nice. Everyone asked me why you didn't come.

And what did you tell them?

What else? That you were sick.

Are you feeling better?

Not at all...

Manolis wants me to be his best man..

What was Maria wearing?

What...

What Maria was wearing?

- Who is it? - It's Nikos.

Just a minute.

- Were you sleeping? - I washed my face!

Can I come in?

I came to tell you that....

I'm glad that Leuteris calmed down.

I'm glad too.

I believe that if we're a little bit patient, all things will be just fine.

And you came here to tell me this?

"My dear sister,"

"You can't imagine how sad I was that couldn't make it to our engagement feast."

"they told me that you were really sick and that you were upset you couldn't come."

"It's ok Anna... we'll have a great time at the wedding!"

"Just be patient."

"You should see all these presents! You would've been crazy"

"Especially you, that you're fancy of this luxuries."

"It's that beautiful!"

"Manolis really cares about me, he looks after me and make me laugh."

"He kissed me..."

"Kissed me!"

"If a simple kiss makes me feel that way, then how will it be when we get married?"

"I miss you, my dear Anna. Your sister."

- Leuteri, can I take one? - Sure mr Lampro.

Thank you!

President! I'm going to distribute the papers.

As I said, we had a full moon and our nets were empty.

We should wait and see for a couple of days, or else...

Fishes are not romantic mr Georgi. They don't like the full moon.

We should sing to them, then.

- Is Anna alright? - As far as I know, why?

I've posted her over three letters and got no responce.

- I want to see her, when can we go? - Whenever you wish for!

- How? Without being invited? - Invited? It's our home.

Maybe your uncle wouldn't like to be there all the time...

Father, it's my sister.

I left home soon after my parents died.

I was feeling fear and hate for everyone, as if they were responsible for my loss.

I left! I sailed and went first to Italy.

I worked for a couple of years, I was the head in a card club.

From Italy then to Spain. I lived there a long time. I wasn't familiar with the language,

but spoke it frequently a year after. Then went down to Algeri, sailed on a ship and left

straight to America. To the Statue of Liberty, in "Ellis" island.

They examined us, got us in carantine. I had some money,

and so I thought to travel to America to see how it looks like. It has a lot of Greeks there!

Why aren't you talking? Haven't you got any story to tell me?

About what?

I've never been anywhere.

I like it here! The village...

So, the village! Plaka!

- Hallo folks! - Hallo boss!

Mrs Eleutheria, Manolis and Maria are here!

- Hallo! - Hallo Maria.

- What a nice surprise! - How are you? Hallo.

Welcome!

If I knew that you're about to come, I would have given orders to treat you something.

But that's ok, I'll find something to cook to join us at lunch!

We didn't want to put you into any trouble, I just came to see my sister.

Excellent, I go get her, she's here. Anna, Annoula!

- Come, your sister is here! - Coming!

You sit and I go get some snack, ok?

Tasia come and help me.

���� ��� �������.

������ ������. � ���� ��� ��� �� ��������� ���.

��' ��� ����� ��� �� ������;

- �aria! - Hallo!

-Welcome. - I'm glad to see you.

- You're so beautiful. - Thank you.

Silly of me, I didn't get any responce to my letters so long,

and thought that something maybe was wrong.

- But your ok, right? - I'm just fine.

I was really upset you couldn't make it to the engagement feast. We had some great time.

Antreas told me. I was upset too.

- How's father? - Fine. Just fine.

He misses you.

I want you to promise, that you' ll visit him soon, ok?

You're right. I've neglected it. But now I will.

- I was planning for next week. - Great, I'll tell him.

He is eager to see you.

You look pretty too.

- Sure you're ok? - Now I'm really great.

Come.

- Manoli, how are you. - Hi Anna.

Can I get you anything?

News!

Uncle George, do you want one?

News!

- Do you want any? - News? Thank you boy.

You stupid!

News!

I want a job like Leuteri's.

- You're helping your mother. - That's not a job, it's an assist.

So does Leuteris, assists the president with the newspaper.

We should assist each other when in need.

Why not then to assist Helectra that can't see?

- Assist her how? - Maybe... when Demitris is off.

I should take her for a walk and help her with the householding.

Bravo, Athena. That's an excellent thought.

You should ask her and if she accepts, then I'd be really glad.

Mom?

Do you know what Leuteris told me last night?

What's that?

He actually told me that uncle Nikos is a fine man!

- He did? - Yeah.

- Why? Don't you like that? - Sure do.

I like Nikos too.

So, you thought I haven't noticed it?

Goodmorning girls.

- Welcome. - Goodmorning.

Three plum cakes please.

[ SOPHIA VEMPO-You wake me up with kisses]

"I wanted it so bad, but you wanted it even more..."

And there I am all yours!

But I never thought or dreamed

" how happy would I be with you."

"You wake me up with kisses"

"You're fondling my hair"

"you're smiling all day, and say tender words"

Now, type what I will say to you.

"and the house is full of joy"

- "I'm so happy... - that you love me,

every night you take me for a walk,

and at nights you're asking me if I love you too

"...but I can't say it anymore"

Nice breeze.

Oh my...

Two gulls are flying and dive to catch fish.

There's another one going to it's babies.

You don't have to picture things that aren't there.

Who said there aren't. They live in my imagination.

Leuteris is doing great Niko, really great.

Well done Leuteri. Soon you'll be able to type even faster.

Right? Right Leuteri?

I'm so glad that you love me.

Anna?

- How long have you been standing there? - Not much. Just looking at you.

Don't you ever rest?

I'm preparing the house for father.

I've even gather some stuff you might need it.

A flute, a doll... stuff. Here there are.

- Do you want some lemon juice? - Sure.

You might need this before me.

You might give birth before me.

Or after you. Right?

- Is something wrong? - No, why?

Nothing...just my idea.

- But you would've told me if something was wrong? - I haven't.

Come.

I'm really happy you came.

- Come, let's talk. - No, no!

I should go to Savina. Besides, you have a lot of work to do.

I'll come by later, when father will also be here.

Suit yourself.

I was so happy for our Maria!

Who would've imagine that your husband had such a cousin

that would fall in love with your sister. That's a great luck for your family.

We missed you at the feast.

Me too, I was very sick.

And had some bad days.

So. What you thing of Manolis? Isn't he handsome?

He's really good.

- And they look so good together. - A lot!

Have you seen your father? It's been a long time!

- Yeah, he missed you. - I missed him too.

I passed by the house but wasn't there!

I'll go again.

It's delicious!

- It's nice right? - Yes!

I brought you something for lunch!

Welcome!

Did you read my mind?

Why? You were hungry?

No, I was just thinking of you!

How are you?

How do I look like?

You're thinner!

Since I have noone to look after for me!

Will you stay?

No!

I let the oven lit.

Just for a few minutes...

Five minutes!

Enough, honey, enough! It's you, you're getting married!

- You never know. - Yeah, right afterwards!

Anna was here!

- Anna? - Yes.

Anna was here?

Where is she?

She went to Photeini and Savina! She should be here in a minute!

Father!
