Anna has lost her memory but she hasn’t forgotten how to cook. One night she shows up in a working-class neighborhood. There she meets Roula and gets a job as a cook and a place to stay at his shabby seaside tavern. In the kitchen, amidst the scents of spices and old forgotten recipes, Anna struggles to rebuild her past. Her simple but delicious food awakens memories for the regulars who in turn help her to reconnect with herself. The story takes an unexpected turn when Roula suddenly stumbles upon the Green Sea and discovers Anna’s true identity.
IMDB - 3 wins
Loved this film - it is a slice of life far from glossy romantic comedies. The characters are complex and interesting and the plot is curiously realistic even if the premise is odd. I could almost the food, the raki and the cigarettes.
The setting is perfect - the Greece not shown in tourist brochures or on Instagram. I feel I know this place - even the taverna - and the people, with all their quirks.
The two negative reviews say more about the reviewers than the film (the critic of Greece is breathtaking in its arrogance and ignorance and tells you nothing about the film).
Definitely worth watching (though perhaps not if you only like action movies, thrillers or romcoms).
