Summaries

A love story, set in Athens of 1977, between a female, left-wing journalist and a former stage actor.

Inspired by the title of Greek singer Dimitris Mitropanos' folk song, "I Remember You Leaving All My Life", the Greek director, Frieda Liappa, constructs a memory-laden, medium-length film. Against the backdrop of a love affair in 1977 Athens between a leftist female journalist and a stage actor who has abandoned theatre, Frieda Liappa intertwines elements of her personal mythology. Pivoting around Vasilis Tsitsanis, Raymond Chandler, politics, and emotional and artistic impasses, Frieda Liappa portrays the eternal man/woman dipole and the male/female relations, depicting a specific point in time: the fall of Georgios Papadopoulos' military junta of 1967-74 and the transitional period shortly after the 1974 legislative elections--an era that defined an entire generation.—Nick Riganas
