She is a person who diligently fashions her own solitude. This determines both her response and her arousal. She gains time, she busies herself with her griefs, her lost pleasures, her body - its memories and sexuality. In this film the female body is energized in all directions. It exploits disease and pain and wanders around incessantly, rejecting immobility and seeking out the privileges it has been deprived of.
Sexual contact is impossible, and as such it is endlessly pursued.
In both cases, the question that is posed is whether, and to what extent, these relationships are a confrontation or a power game. The male character gradually accepts the two-fold drive of his desires, and endeavours to merge and balance them. Using a grainy 16m black and white stock and a shoestring budget, first portion of film directed by Maria Gavala, limns a touching miniature portrait of a young girl who has run away from her village and in Athens has had her first unsuccessful fling at love and sex. The mood of disappointment and forlorn futility is similarly conveyed in the second part of this film, directed by Thodoros Soumas. Both directors happily eschew explicit sex scenes and generally steer clear of undue intellectualizing.
