Against the background of Athens in August, deserted by its four million inhabitants and the havoc they create, Pantelis Voulgaris tenderly weaves three different stories about the lonely people who remain in a city now devoid of noise, pollution, traffic jams. An elderly woman who lives alone with memories of the man she loved during the war; forever dreaming of the exotic life he used to lead, a retired seaman who lives with his wife; and a bank employee who receives an erotic phone call from an unknown woman every afternoon at four and becomes obsessed with identifying her. Somewhere in between the heat, the memories, the desires and their deeper loneliness, they search for company, for love, for communication in this film whose music was composed by worldwide known composer Manos Hadjidakis.
Félix Ziem is accepted as one of the well-known artists of the romantic landscape painting, and has been followed closely by art lovers and collectors of all periods since. He had a profound influence on generations of artists after him, and was the first artist whose works were acquired by the Louvre while he was still alive.
