  
Cacoyannis creates a cynical portrait of Greek upper-class life. A wealthy family is on the verge of bankruptcy, and driven by the paranoid and superficial mother, struggles to maintain a facade of security at the cost of strong family bonds. An exceptional drama that is beautifully acted and typical of Cacoyannis' masterful direction. With Ellie Lambetti, George Pappas and Athena Michaelidou. Greek with English subtitles.
1957, 101 mins.
