Documentary

Directed by Jasin Challah

Documentary filmmaker Kosta Rapadopoulos travels to his homeland and interviews older men about their amorous adventures with female tourists, who flocked to Greece en masse in the 1970s. We listen to the story of a rapprochement between different cultures: here the impetuous "Greek lover", cooked for by his mother until marriage, and there the emancipated woman who takes the pill! His research leads him to the legendary "Kamakia" - the heroes of the island who gave themselves up to meet the special needs of women. A search that almost pushes Rapadopoulos to his limits.
