What If...

Hello.

Good evening.

We are here to talk to you

about relationships.

This is not our story.

Don't think that love has changed

a lot since then.

The story of love affairs

is everlasting.

Not so everlasting...

Everlasting Antonakis, everlasting.

Have you forgotten our story?

I was chasing the tram for you

with a bicycle for two hours.

And this is what happened to me.

What if you hadn't caught it?

What if you hadn't seen me?

What if I hadn't seen you and

met someone else? Then what?

I would be spared!

Haven't we all wondered

what our lives would be like

if we had found our soul mate?

Haven't we all wondered whether

things happen by chance?

Every minute, every moment, our

slightest decision may change our lives.

I don't believe in fate.

My sweet Antonakis...

A love story, any time, at any age...

What is simpler than that?

The truth is that the simplest,

is also the hardest...

-Hi, Mr. Christos.

-Hey you're late. How are you?

-How am I? I suffer from love.

-Love?

I'm in love too but

I don't act this way.

Yeah right...

-Bye Vasilis, bye.

-Bye!

Oh, Mr. Sotiris, I forgot all about you!

I passed by your shop and didn't stop...

I am in love Mr. Sotiris and

I've lost my mind.

Do you mind if I deliver tomorrow?

Alright, stop yelling...

and it's such a beautiful day today.

I'm coming around right now.

God damn it...

Hey love. How's my baby?

Babe...

See, a delivery came up and

I will be late for an hour or so...

OK stop yelling love... don't yell.

I won't be long.

I am wrapping up with deliveries and

will be there soon, ok? Do you love me?

She loves me...

No. I don't miss a relationship, company,

partner or any other disgusting term...

It's so obsessive. Why should I feel

guilty for feeling good about myself?

Of course you'd argue that it's nice to

love someone, to have a companion, but...

You're asking me to name "fear"

as love? Is that it?

So, it's not about being in love

and certainly not about loving someone.

This is about compromise, insecurity,

compromise and dependence,

and many things that we all bear by

nature and that others force upon us.

Social conventions.

Besides, I have all these things...

and surely at some point I would sell

you out for a sweeping love affair.

What? No?

Ok... I take the last one back.

Take a look around us, Lonesome.

Everything changes. Aren't we fine?

What is it?

Excuse me, I'm spilling my guts to you

and you wanna pee?

Lonesome.

No way, I'm exhausted...

There are many things I want too,

but I don't act like that.

Lonesome?

I'll make you a deal.

You'll pee in the yard just for

tonight and I promise you

tomorrow we will take

a very long walk. Agreed?

Come on, don't look at me

this way, don't do this to me.

Don't make me go out tonight...

I'm begging you, please.

This is an "if"...

that you don't know what it will bring

and where it will lead you.

You're conniving and ungrateful

and like all females

you're only trying to get

what you want.

Yeah right. I don't see what's the

difference between you and any b*tch.

From a broad at least I get sex.

You can't even do that.

Really now, what do you offer

in this relationship?

I'll tell you what.

You give nothing back.

Ok, pee here.

Surely it's not anybody else's fault.

It's mine... The a**hole.

I only give in this relationship.

And starting tomorrow forget everything.

the bones, the long walks, everything...

And I'm gonna ask the vet to come by

and give you the triple shot.

I should have gotten a cat.

Yeah, right.

Lonesome!

I'll make you a deal.

You'll pee in the yard just for

tonight and I promise you

tomorrow we will take

a very long walk. Agreed?

Come on, don't look at me

this way, don't do this to me.

Don't make me go out tonight...

I'm begging you, please.

Every moment, every minute,

the slightest decision...

...can change your life.

You're the best female I've ever met,

certainly the most faithful

and understanding.

I promise tomorrow we will take the

longest walk of your life. Ok Lonesome?

Go pee outside and I'll be back

in a while. Come on girl...

Is it alive?

You can go,

you don't have to wait.

What are you talking about?

How could I do that?

Besides I didn't want to go where

I was going in the first place.

Not that I prefer being here.

I was going to a wedding reception.

I don't usually go out looking like this.

Even though today something was telling

me to stay in. Do you believe in fate?

-No.

-I do... Labrador Retriever?

-German Shepherd.

-Ah, a Shepherd. What's her name?

-Lonesome.

-I'm more of a cat person myself.

Not that I don't like dogs.

I like them very much.

Do you want me to shut up?

I tend to talk too much when upset...

-I'm Christina.

-Demetris.

Doctor, what's going on? How is she?

Please say something good...

-Relax. The dog will be fine.

-Really? Doctor, thank you so much...

I told him that everything will be ok and

that I couldn't bear the guilt if she died...

It's not my dog.

I'm the one who hit her...

-Tell me.

-She has some broken ribs.

I managed to stop the internal bleeding.

If you got here later, she would have died.

Mainly, if she hadn't had the accident

and if I hadn't treated her,

we would have missed

the massive tumor she had.

-Tumor?

-Tumor?

She's a very lucky animal. She wouldn't

have lived more than a year.

She will have some discomfort,

but it's a small price to pay compared to

what would have happened to her.

Lonesome will be with you

for a long time.

So, in a sense I saved her...

-What do you do?

-I'm a director.

I mean, I work for a production agency,

mainly advertising.

Do you think that someone from your work

or your environment has reason to...

No.

-Are you married?

-No.

-You live alone?

-Yes.

-Security systems? Alarm?

-No, none of that.

-Your mistake...

-What's my mistake?

I was in my house at 11 o'clock at night.

What exactly was my mistake?

-Security systems? Alarm?

-No, none of that.

-Your mistake...

-I took the dog out for a walk,

we had an accident and then had to rush

to the vet. That's why I wasn't here.

That saved you... You should thank God

they didn't find you inside.

This is a vicious gang. They have broken

into five houses this month alone.

Times have changed...

You are lucky to be alive.

Try to put this whole thing behind you

as an unfortunate event.

You happened to be in the wrong place

the wrong time.

-Good morning. Can I speak with Christina?

-This is she.

-Hi. It's Demetris.

-Hi Demetris.

-Hi.

-Tell me.

Well, I called to tell you...

I mean I called to thank you.

Not just for helping me with Lonesome...

who by the way is doing much better...

Listen, hold on, listen...

Speak!

-She's much better.

-That's good.

Yes it is. But even better, because of you

I was saved from a dangerous situation.

That's why I called to thank you.

The night we rushed Lonesome to the vet,

they broke into my house. I came back

to find my house all messed up.
