Mesmerizing darkness
12 October 2015
Warning: Spoilers
If you are lucky enough to find this film, do not loose the opportunity to watch it. Do not loose the opportunity to devour its powerful mesmerizing darkness. Intensely majestic, scary, impressive, unique, exceptional, this 80's Greek film will certainly leave you speechless.

She lives in a post-apocalyptic city. A city that is abandoned, a city that is dark and in ruins. A city where you see dripping ceilings, basements with pods of water, staircases partly blocked and humid. What makes this canvas even darker and scarier is that the lights are on, TV sets are also left on by the people who have fled, a cinema still plays a film noir...So much dark there is that even daylight seems to have left or has already packed and is ready to leave, since it is almost absent.

Leaving this city is her goal, like many people have done already. She is not in a good health, she looks weak and speaks with Herself a lot, narrating Her few remaining memories. She is chased not only by "remnants of people" but also by the Morning Patrol. They move around the city, kill the people who are left behind, and the ones that try to leave, heading West to reach the Sea...like Herself. She will come across Him, one of them, a killer but someone that is suffering exactly the same, and deep down inside feels Her deeply. Together they will march towards the desirable salvation...
