Featured review
It is a great movie of two major actors of the golden period of the Greek cinema, Rena Vlahopoulou and Labros Konstandaras. These two after many years of marriage and having two children, Kostas Voutsas and Hloi Liaskou, they face a problem in their marriage. Her husband is angry with her obsession with playing cards. After many failures trying to convince her quit playing this game, that costs them a lot of money, and also abstracts her from her family matters, he decides to cause her jealousy in order to make her pay some attention to him too. He chooses one of her single friends, a beautiful young woman, and when she discovers it she abandons playing cards and focuses on not to lose her husband. During all these scenes, she is against the potential marriage of her daughter to a jinx, as she calls him, and whenever she meets this future groom she makes some characteristic movements to break the jinx! Fantastic performances of Vlahopoulou and the rest. Also memorable performance by Sapfo Notara performing an old woman, maid of Vlahopoulou, who assists her in hiding the money losses of Vlahopoulou from her husband.
