Στ' αλήθεια / Actually (vignette)

I was ordered to make one short "joke" for Athens Love Festival in Athens, Greece. Talks about love, alcohol and how people like to believe in fake in the name of a love story...no matter what it costs.

A short story based on a recording by Tom Waits called "missing my son".

A man meets a woman in a liquer shop. She insists that he looks the same as her dead husband. She asks him to say "Good night my love" because her husband didn't make it. The man accepts to play in this small theater she asked him to do. The girl who works for the shop is bored to death...she needs to go home after a hard day work...

"Film with tragically comic and universal rhythms and cadences. Every act is well defined. We could be in any country and in any place. The director, in a short time, manages to create empathy towards the characters well defined and the relationship between them, giving the viewer the impression of being present and just a few meters from the absurd scene that is taking place, and leaving him stunned and smiling"
