Directed by Vassilis Loules
Moments from the action and personality of Lela Karagianni, the legendary ""Bouboulina"" of the Resistance, are portrayed through the tender, personal perspective of her son, Giorgos. Wanted during the German Occupation, the young man secretly met with his mother, Lela, for the needs of the struggle. Yet, even under those harsh conditions, he had the chance to experience the tenderness and affection of the heroine, who never ceased to be a mother. Illegal film footage captures rare images of Occupied Athens, while Giorgos’ fragmented memories still carry something of ""Violetta di Parma,"" Lela Karagianni's favorite perfume.
