I caught one!

-No way! Where is it? -Here it is!

Right, you caught the piece of wood, let me catch the fish.

Come here!

Those sweet eyes of yours

Where did you find them?

Did you steal them? Did you buy them?

Or maybe, did you borrow them?

Did you steal them? Did you buy them?

Or maybe did you borrow them?

Cut it off, Thodoris! Stop!

You see me but you never speak

You are more than embarrassed

They have advised you

Not to talk to me

What if I am embarrassed and what if I am hiding

Those who listen know it

That I count the days...

Alright! My fault!

I caught one!

Well done!

-It was just a piece of wood! -And what did you catch?

-Fish! -Yeah, right! You missed it!

I didn't!

Father!

-I caught a fish. -Where is it?

-I felt sorry for it and let it go. -Well done.

What are you looking at?

How nice you look together.

-Did you have a good time? -We did.

Have fun as much as you can, because after the wedding...

the worries come.

Do not frighten us, father.

I am only joking. Off you go!

You go your way...

And I'm going my way.

Young people should be with young people.

ERT PRESENTS: THE GREEK SHORT STORY

SINFUL LOVE

BASED ON KONSTANTINOS THEOTOKIS' SHORT STORY

I'm choosing Margaro.

I'm choosing...

Now I got you!

Come here!

I will eat you!

No, no!

Stathis! Come on, let's get this over with!

A little more! Let me eat them first!

Alright, keep playing.

Come on, stop.

Evil thoughts...

I shouldn't have blamed him.

Forgive me.

Bless your children's wedding!

Thanks.

Thanks.

All the best to your children too.

Spyros...

What?

I will treat her as my own child.

No... It's not that...

Anyway.

Well, she used to light up our house.

When a father marries his daughter, that's how it goes.

On the one hand you feel joy...

On the other hand, sadness.

That's how it goes, right?

We did the same. What about our wives?

Didn't we get them from their family too?

-Cheers! -Cheers.

Don't worry, my time will come.

-I have two daughters to marry. -Bless them.

And stay strong.

Cheers!

-Hello! -Welcome!

Konstantis!

Eftychis, bring a clean glass.

-How are you, Konstantis? -What are you discussing?

About joy and sadness.

You'll feel the same before you know it.

-Amen! -To your girl's wedding!

To Eugenia!

-Good morning. -Good morning.

-Welcome. -Doctor, will you do us the honor?

Doctor? What doctor? It's too early.

Sit down, sit down.

Wait for me to get my degree.

For now, I can't even treat your cattle.

Come, drink with us.

I heard. Let's drink to your joy!

And to your wedding!

Well, you know me.

Greece will be free first and then I shall get married.

-Amen! -Amen!

To our freedom!

Freedom from what?

Come on, Stathis.

From the loans.

-From the foreigners. -What about you, Mr. Stathis?

How about politics?

I take care of my business.

Well, that's not wrong.

The olive trees bore fruit again this year, right?

They did, thank God.

You know what?

Now that we are family, after the wedding

when we harvest

I will send you Manthos, who works for me, to help.

I have my own workers every year,

but the best workers I have are these right here.

My son, my wife. That's how I do it.

We all go to work. I have this principle.

If you are the boss and the worker, you know better.

Then, let us all come to help, as a family.

But then you, too, will reciprocate.

Agreed.

Tell us, now that you live in Athens, we learn nothing here,

-how are things in Macedonia? -Dead-end. Impasse.

-If I were your age, I would go. -I would too, but I have to study.

My father got deep in debt so I can get my degree.

Lords and officers

They made your bed

Come on, stop being cute. We have things to do.

Good morning.

Hello, dear.

Come.

We were not expecting you, forgive us.

Let me not be a burden. I brought the bride's adornment.

Thank you.

What are you waiting for? Open it.

Come on, let's go sit.

You are so lucky!

You mind your business and shut your mouth.

I wish you the same, my girl.

-All this for me? -That's what we promised, right?

Didn't your father-in-law promise that?

Your love is more than enough.

You will look so beautiful in them!

Don't!

Not now! It brings bad luck.

That's right. Only on the wedding day.

-May your wedding be happy! -Amen!

-And to your wedding! -Thank you.

I'll take it upstairs.

Show me the wool.

Come.

Don't!

Not now! It brings bad luck.

In three Sundays! Not this Sunday, nor the next two.

She's lucky.

He is handsome.

You call that handsome? He's like a crooked cat.

If envy were a fever, all the world would be ill.

And her brother is handsome. More handsome than George?

If ten is the best mark, how much does he get?

George gets twelve. Thodoris thirteen.

Both get a three and I'm being generous.

Come on, you snob!

What do you say?

What?

What about George that will marry Chrysavgi?

Okay, enough for today. Let's go.

I can stay a bit longer.

Is that why you're sticking your tongue out, like a dog?

Let's go.

It's from your mother-in-law. Eat something.

Bless her.

Silence.

Holy mother of God.

Is it okay here?

-Sew it a bit more here. -Give me a thread.

Here.

Fotini, I can't, I need to talk to you.

-I feel sorry... -Hush!

God wanted it that way.

We will find the best man for her. It's on me.

Do not worry. There's no need. She will be just fine.

-Hello, owl. -Hello to you, eagle owl.

-Will you walk slower or what? -I can't, I'm in a hurry.

-Can I talk to you? -Do you use your legs to talk?

-No. -Then talk and keep walking.

Go on then.

Okay, I will.

I do not want us to drift apart.

Do siblings drift apart, you silly eagle owl?

No. That's what I'm saying. They don't.

And they will always play together.

Come on, then! I choose a rooster. What do you choose?

Forgive me, I will not be your hen.

Be whatever you like.

-Can you tweet like that? -What did you expect?

I pretended to be an owl for your sake, but there's more.

This is what I am, a nightingale.

You know, I am soon to find my blackbird.

Holy Christ!

The groom will go nuts.

He will lose his mind.

-Hush! -Why, father, is she wrong?

So... You are going.

Come on.

Open all doors and windows!

It's a happy day!

Home sweet home...

Come on, you lucky, you are marrying the best.

After me, of course. Come on.

-What a dress! -So beautiful! Like the sun!

We haven't seen such a beautiful bride in years.

May God bless them!

May our God be always blessed

now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.

For peace, let us pray to the Lord.

Lord have mercy

For the peace from above and the salvation of our souls

let us pray to the Lord.

Lord, have mercy

For peace, for the whole world,

for the soundness of the Holy Church of God

and for the union of everything

let us pray to the Lord.

Lord, have mercy

For the sake of this Holy Church

and those who enter it with faith, devotion and the respect to God

let us pray to the Lord.

Lord, have mercy

The eternal Lord

who unities the divided in holy union

and sets a link...

You, who blessed Isaac and Rebecca...

-What's wrong? -You, who lead them to holy deeds...

Due to the excitement.

Because You are merciful and benevolent God

to You we send the glory

to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The servant of God, Georgios, takes as his wedded wife

the servant of God, Chrysavgi...

..in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit...

The servant of God, Efstathios, takes as his wedded wife

the servant of God, Chrysavgi...

in the name...

...and the Holy Spirit.

What's wrong, my dear?

-Dizziness... -He's too excited.

...the servant of God, Chrysavgi.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The servant of God, Chrysavgi...

My God...

Isaiah dance

The Virgin had in the womb

And she bore a son, Emmanuel

A God and a man

To our own weddings!

Dance, my moon, dance!

And now... Let's dance fulrana!

The bride is dancing so beautifully.

If she danced with her husband, she would dance better.

It's out of love, like a father to his daughter.

See your groom? As if he heard you.

Stop the music! Stop, stop!

Stop!

Let's laugh a little!

Let's say a wedding song!

Yes!

-A song from Zakynthos. -Areti!

The knife is for the enemies.

The co...

-The corn for our people! -Take the girls to sleep.

Maria, Irene, go to sleep.

The stick for the dogs.

The nuts... Peanuts for the friends.

Some nice ladies put me on guard to their...

lady flowers! To guard them for six months

to f... pluck them in a year!

And one flower

the one with the hardest wood

leaves my guard.

"Why, dear flower, did you get mad and leave?"

"Because, dear co...

Corn, I could not stand

to see you with all those flowers around you".

Why did you turn them off?

We'd better leave. Let the children go to bed.

Right. We should go.

Between your legs, there is...

a garden.

There are fences all around and in the middle...

a river!

Leaving already? I got some more.

Let's leave the newlyweds alone.

Listen to this one. It's good.

Long live the newlyweds!

I wish I had as many sheep in my flock

as many times your hand touched a...

Enough. You've drunk a lot. It's enough.

-Long live the newlyweds! -Thank you!

-Good night. -Good night.

Cut it off.

Who are you? A guard to our privates?

You're unbelievable.

Go away!

Go away!

I'm drowning.

I'm drowning...

Christ no! No!

Shame.

Shame on you!

The birth, birth, birth!

Where have you been?

In the hut. I have the olive oil inside.

The thieves are looking for an opportunity.

You could have told me, I barely slept.

Well, here I am.

Pull yourself together. The in-laws are coming at noon.

-I'm going get some rest. -Okay.

Good morning!

You're up?

Good morning.

Mother?

Out.

I'm going to help her.

-Welcome, my bride! -Good morning.

Good morning.

Rise and shine. How did you sleep?

Ask her if she slept at all.

Maria, hush!

I'm going too.

Chrysavgi, save me!

I am coming to save you!

What are you looking at?

What are you doing?

Kiss them.

-What nonsense is this? -Kiss them.

Have you gone crazy?

Do you love me?

Pull yourself together, we have the newlyweds at home.

Kiss our wedding wreaths if you love me.

Kiss them and swear that you will honor the vow

you made in front of Her and Her son.

Kiss them.

Calm down. Stop.

The children will hear. Stop.

Stop it!

Hush!

Think of your son.

Why do you get ideas? What is all this, all of a sudden?

Have I ever done anything to dishonor our marriage?

No.

George, enough, stop playing.

Come on. Your parents are waiting.
