Pandora

Directed by George Stamboulopoulos

Vissilis wanders around in the dilapidated house, where he was raised by his uncle Kostis. His mind is floded with memories of a time long-gone. It'sthe early 1950's, the aftermath of a Civil War. Vassili's father, Manos, was still in exile when an American woman, Pandora descended on the village. Like her mythological namesake, she too wreaked havoc on men's hearts: Kostis fell in love with her, and the little village community saw the invasion of modern customs, When Manos returns from exile, Pandora steals his heart, but in the end he turns her down. When a tragedy strikes, an accident many believe to be a deliberate killing, things take a tragic turn for the yougn Vassilis, Set against breathtakin Mediterranean landscapes, Pandora is a contemporary European retelling of the Greek muze's myth, in the tradition of The English Patient and Captain Correlli's Mandolin.
