Storyline

In Greece, young Voula (Tania Palaiologou) and her little brother, Alexandros (Michalis Zeke), think that their dad is in Germany, so they decide to pack up and search for him. During their life-changing trek, they meet the kindly Orestis (Stratos Tzortzoglou), who looks after them for a time. Eventually, the children decide to resume their quest, but they are forced to deal with the brutal realities of being alone in the world as they wander through an unforgiving winter landscape.

Short Review

If the overall tone is bleak in its portayal of betrayals, loneliness and disillusionment, Angelopoulos' assured control of mood, Giorgos Arvanitis' superb camerawork, and the kids' glowing performances provide ample pleasures.
