Those were the times
25 March 2008
One of the best comedies of Greece's National Star and Demetris Papamichael. Until the 90s it was still the third biggest grossing film in Greece.

The main story centers around the acquaintance and love interest of Aliki with a young man which, to the ignorance of both, is a cadet to the Naval Academy where her father is the Admiral-Director. When he finds out that he literally runs away from her and Aliki decides to follow and confront him in an original and quite unconventional manner:).

The unique editing of the film makes it even more pleasant to watch, since it usually relates the last line of one scene with the first line of the next scene, in order to indicate the misunderstandings that drive the plot of the film around.

The cast includes many future Greek comedy stars, such as Costas Vourtsas, Ntinos Karydis and Giannis Gkionakis. The songs are an additional bonus for this film, the best known of them being "Trava Mpros" (Move Ahead), "O Glaros"("The Seagul) and the subtly melancholic: "Gaidarakos" (The Little Donkey).
