It was, as you say, a time when Greek cinema was looking far away. Back when Finos was selling the basic fairy tales that brought us up through the fairy tale of the star système, which was then taking its first steps in Greece with Vougiouklaki as Cinderella, the little girl with matches and all the other connotations to give the bum food for dreams of princes and queens who were lucky enough to kiss the bacchanalian. And so the many forgot for a few hours their lardas, playing in B minor, waiting for the next remittance from Germany to get out the month and pay the bills to Herr Stephanos.
Don't tell me that you've forgotten all this because your little man maneuvered a little bit with the loans that Simitis' block of money saved us in the face of some memoranda, the ones that were waiting in the corner to take away some gas fields from down here, to turn them into Green Growth, as soon as that evil Putin turns off the spigots. Because I'm ready then to start shouting. OKAY?
In Lisa and the other one, Lisa (Aliki Vougiouklaki) a small street vendor is arrested by the owner of the antique shop (Laurentis Diannellos) because she has secretly slept there. The judge (Pantelis Zervos) acquits her and Thanos Kostopoulos (Giorgos Pantzas), the young lawyer who takes over her defense, takes her and hosts her in his house, where he lives with two of his friends, Stylianos (Yannis Malouchos) and Konstantinos (Vassilis Malouchos, now both torn). Sexual harassment zero then on stage, even though the metoo had not yet been discovered.
Mitsi (the other Aliki Vougiouklaki), a rich girl, runs away from home in order to pressure her father, Miche (Lambros Konstantaras), not to force her to marry John Pezikis (George Konstantinou), who sets her up with him, and to accept her boyfriend, Andreas (George Lefteriotis), as his son-in-law. Her father searches for her with the help of detective Petros Valdis (Thanasis Vengos as agent Thou Bou in a tie), offering a reward for finding her. The three friends (Thanos, Stylianos & Konstantinos) discover in the newspaper that Lisa looks remarkably like Mitsi and, believing it to be her, lead her to Mikhe Gavriloglou at Mitsi's house. And she upsets them. After several scenes of Lisa as a royal bird, Mitzi appears out of nowhere and everything has a happy ending. Lisa will marry Thanos and Mitsi will marry Andreas and thus the legal order and the co-government of classes is finally restored on the corpse of our then anemic development.
But then the energy crises of Alpha in 74, Thanos found himself without a factory, a huda, a grotesque trick in the Stock Exchange that made Andreas an agent with a villa in Ekali from the stolen goods and, finally, in the role of Vengo a certain Kontoleon to watch as a demon detective when the Cailey leaves the corral to get Semitistan back in the blue, before some Indians from the western playing on the other channel next door get beaten up again because of the energy crises.
In the next one, if they see darkness, you'll see where they'll play the “little lustrous one” again, that blockbuster with Nikos Xanthopoulos that gave a lot of tears. Most people will think that Kayli is the daughter of Vassilakis of Kayla, and so it will be passed on to the dukkou to pick up the Semitics again in the neophile stranglehold, leaving for Androulakis the title role: polishing up parahumans for jobs now handed out by a Tsounis. You may not know him. He is from a village. And if he doesn't sell, put Mitarakis on a TV show and Koulis on Hajinikos to talk about dolmades again in life style analyses.
But because any popular narrative without a queen is no good, and pending again the remittance from the Europeans to get away with it this winter from Mr. Stephen, the order came from above: “play Liza again”!
Dax, and into a traveling skeleton he makes us, said the director. As long as the other guys get out on the glass a lot. All those with hats and medals to remind us of our glorious times, back when Alexia-baby was taking a stand at the Juliana in support of the then Mitsotakis service apostasy, and the medal with the crests on the big uniforms came and went arranging where the jobs would be given. Hapata is in the hard core, the concrete barmy, the royal, they will vote for us again, said the director.
This way they will not see where the jobs, ports and coronioquettes are now divided in view of the next leadership election. These we will say are political issues, you stay an apolitical reader of easy popular stories. Now where do you put that unoccupied penthouse of yours to work... Airbnb the damn thing...
The End.
