Summaries

Still reluctant to call it quits on her dying marriage, a conventional Athenian housewife gets caught up in a whirlwind romance with a successful man. Will this deliciously dangerous affair lead to true love or sharp disappointment?

Eleni is thirty-three, a would-be dancer who no longer dances, a woman no longer in love with her husband, leading an uneventful bourgeois life. Grigoris is a successful economist, a career man who has lived in Paris for so long that he feels nostalgia for Greece and his boyhood years there. When they meet, they feel a sudden love for each other, a love that thrills them and threatens their quiet lives. Their love takes them to Lisbon, and perhaps even further.

Still reluctant to call it quits on her dying marriage, Eleni, a conventional Athenian housewife and mother-of-one, watches her youthful dream of having a career as a professional dancer wane. However, a fateful encounter with Grigoris, a successful OECD expert and handsome family man living in France, will pave the way for an unexpected escape from Eleni's sluggish life. And, just like that, two perfect strangers will be taken by surprise by love's omnipotence, getting caught up in a whirlwind of emotions that defy logic. Who knows where this delightfully fascinating and deliciously dangerous romance leads? Will Eleni and Grigoris find true love or sharp, bittersweet disappointment at the journey's end?—Nick Riganas
