Summaries

Five friends (representatives of the Fifties generation) now in their forties, get together after many years of silence.

Five friends (representatives of the Fifties generation) now in their forties, get together after many years of silence. One shows up from jail, where he has been entering and exiting for years, the other comes from a series of "accidental" murders, another leaves his wife and kids, the fourth one is a wonderer, and the last one, the girl of the gang, comes from a lunatic asylum where she has been hiding for years... All of them are outcasts, tortured from barren love affairs, wounded from the deaths of their beloved friends and betrayed by the politics of their times. They hopelessly try to reconstruct the gang of their puberty, but the revolution is lost... Now, each in his own way, will progress into a journey of death, thus opening a new chapter in the history of their generation.—Marni Films

Having chosen to withdraw from the world, Alkis, a talented drummer who lives and breathes all things 1950s, holes himself up in his ex-wife's spacious villa. With the bittersweet memories of bygone times and the vivid reminiscence of former lover Vera's face etched in his mind, Alkis is in for a big surprise when his cynical old friend Konstadinos shows up unannounced on his front door one cold, stormy night. Little by little, the cavernous, vacant mansion unfolds its blood-curdling secrets, and an impromptu reunion with the glorious past is about to occur. Now, as the troubled host catches up with long-lost companions, decayed remnants of a long-forgotten era, one thing is for sure: nothing will ever be the same again. But is it true that the wretches can still sing?—Nick Riganas
