Set in 1942 Salonika during the Nazi German occupation, the film, based on true events, tells of the forbidden love between two members of the resistance- Estrea, a young Sephardic girl, and Giorgos, the brother-in-law of the famed composer Vassilis Tsitsanis. Much of the story takes place in and around the night club owned by the then 28-year-old Tsitsanis with beautiful bouzouki music throughout. The film’s English title references Tsitsanis’ beloved classic “Synnefisameni Kyriaki”, one of the songs featured in the movie.
