The Story:
In the glittering world of 1950s upper-class Athens, beautiful young Chloe Pellas (Ellie Lambeti) enjoys a life of lavish parties and high-stakes card games with her proud parents, unaware that their failing business has pushed them to the brink of bankruptcy and they can no longer secure credit from shopkeepers.
Discovering the family secret, Chloe resolves to marry wealthy Greek-American millionaire Niko Dritsas for his fortune despite her growing affection for charming art dealer Galanos, while the family’s loyal maid Katerina endures unpaid wages and forced labor until a tragic accident befalls her young son and the mother’s callous refusal leads to Katerina’s sudden death.
Shattered by this ultimate cruelty, Chloe rejects her family’s web of lies and the arranged marriage, fleeing with Katerina’s sick orphaned boy to embrace true moral dignity over false social status in this gripping tale of sacrifice and redemption.
