-I mean, it's not what you want.

-There are many things I don't want,

but I'm beginning to get used to it

the last few months.

-It will get a lot smaller, right?

-Do you have something better to suggest?

-Where did the red, Indian lantern go?

-In the storage room.

Why? It blended nice here

and you liked it...

I hated it.

I didn't know.

-Come here and see the puppy.

-I want us to talk.

I, on the other hand, want to spend

a day with my daughter without talking.

-May I?

-Tomorrow?

To go over the same?

No.

I'll come tomorrow morning.

And if you didn't like the red lantern,

you could have said it.

What is this?

What is it? It fell down.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-The puppy that was for sale?

-Some girl bought it a few days ago.

Ok, thanks.

There's the right moment

for everyone.

Whether it's now or later.

I guess that for me,

it hasn't come yet.

Me and this gentleman here,

have broken up three times.

-Five.

-And I always missed him.

-I always came back.

-And I took you back.

What would you do

if I didn't come back?

-What did you say?

-It's just hypothetical.

What would you do

if I didn't come back?

-Am I not your love?

-Yes, what would you do?

I would die, Antonakis.

I would die.

-Do you like this?

-Yes.

-You really like it?

-Yes.

So, mommy was right.

Antonakis, are you okay?

-A great love never dies.

-Are these words coming from you?

Yes, from me.

Didn't you always say that everything

can be expected in life?

-Yes, but I never want to lose you.

-Okay.

-You will never leave me, right?

-Never Antonakis.

And I don't want to hear anymore

bullshit about death.

It's a manner of speaking, Antonakis.

For us to be together for so long,

it means that you deserve me, Elenitsa.

Enough with moments and fate.

-Lets go home.

-Cut!

-What did he say?

-He said cut.

-Cut what?

-Not cut, Antonakis.

It means that they stop filming.

-Great! We're leaving, thank God.

-Yes.

-How are you?

-Demetris, you tell us. How was it?

-I can't say these things again.

-You were both wonderful.

-That part where I cried...

-Yes?

I didn't mean to, it just happened.

If we can edit that part...

-I'm afraid I'll become ridicule.

-You're such a stuck-up!

-Do you want to start fighting?

-Don't worry, you were very good.

Besides, when we edit the film,

you can come, see the material,

and if there's something

you don't like, we can leave it out.

-Let's do the last scene now...

-Our girl came to pick us up.

That's Christina, our granddaughter.

What time did you tell her to come?

Is it my fault she came earlier?

Christina, come here!

She brought the damn dog along...

-It's my birthday present.

-That's all we needed!

-Are you done? How did it go?

-Great, wonderful!

I'm a bit tired myself.

-Hi.

-Hello.

Christina, this is Demetris,

the director I told you about.

This is Christina, our granddaughter.

-I hope they didn't give you a hard time.

-Not at all. On the contrary...

Our granddaughter recently returned

from Italy and she's staying with us.

-She's divorced.

-Grandma!

I'm only saying because you're

looking for a place to stay,

and Demetris lives in Plaka,

so he may know about something good.

It's not the time now.

Don't pay attention.

-I say we go change now...

-Why should we change?

We have the last scene now,

we have to change.

-I said I'm tired, do you get it?

-Antonakis, shut up!

-Do you see that? No romance.

-Let's go now. I can't stand you anymore!

Don't talk to me like that

in front of the others!

-Are they nagging to you too?

-They're a lot of fun.

May I ask something?

Have I seen you before?

Me?

I don't think so.

Did you buy the puppy

from the pet shop in Plaka?

Yes.

Are you sure I haven't seen

you before?

-Don't you think I'd remember?

-Right.

-Can I wait over there?

-Yes, of course.

You can also sit in front of

the monitor, for a better view.

-How big?

-Excuse me?

The place you're looking for.

How many square feet?

Not many.

I'm asking because

I have something in mind.

-But the thing is there are two of us.

-What do you mean "two"?

Me and my son.

Okay, you can see it

and if you think it's good...

Okay.

If you want, we can go over there

later so you can have a look.

Action!

-There are secret affairs...

-The conventional relationships...

The affairs with passion

and inhibitions...

The simple relationships where you

pitch and scrape until you die...

And the ones where you know you have

found the one and only, true love.

Of course we don't know what

everyone regards as true...

There's a lot of things we don't know,

and that no one will ever

be able to answer.

-That's why we are still together.

-Antonakis, tell me...

What are we now,

after all these years?

We are lovers...

I love what you just said!

Are you nuts!

Do you want to kill yourselves?

For God's sake!

There's a bathroom, a small bedroom,

the kitchen will be installed next week...

And of course the entrance at the staircase

will be detached, but the workers...

Have not finished yet.

Do you know how many times

I've passed in front of this house?

And now you're thinking

that you may live here...

-How much do you want?

-In euro or drachmas?

We'll figure it out.

Yes, I think so too.

-Is that a barrel organ?

-Yes, he passes by every morning.

Eleni!

Come on, girl. We'll be late!

We have to leave in ten minutes and...

Eleni?

Do you know that your mother loved to sit

there and listen to the barrel organ?

Do you miss her?

I don't know how my life

would be without her.

Come on, we'll be late.

Come and help me choose what to wear.

Ao - oo
