Iubire elenã

Synopsis

"Greek love" is the screen adaptation of a theater play whose story unfolds in two parallel planes. A well-situated woman from southern Greece invites an art critic from Athens to offer him for sale a painting by Eleni Bukura from the 19th century, who revolutionized Greek society, overturned taboos and prejudices related to the place and role of women in the city. The young and ambitious Eleni goes to Italy to study painting with the master Altamoura, something unthinkable at the time. More than that, she falls in love with the Italian master. They decide to get married, defying the customs of the era.
