Excellent but underrated film

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Spoiler alertI was disappointed with the female lead. All that effort wasted. I mean I knew it would not end well but for her just throw away all her advantages after the sacrifices made for her made me mad.

The movie title refers to the title of a masterpiece music song (Synnefiasmeni Kuriaki in Greek), composed by a great Greek composer ''Vassilis Tsitsanis'', during the Second World War in Thessaloniki, Greece. The movie presents the harsh times just before and during the Second World War in Thessaloniki and the drama of the local people and the Jewish community through the eyes of this great ''Rembetiko'' composer. A number of talented Greek actors have participated to the movie that was directed by Manoussos Manoussakis, creating a good film worth watching...
