Melina Breaking Free. Dimitra Mantheakis

Аннотация:

1950's. In a small isolated Greek provincial town in post-Civil War Greece a closely-knit group of young friends – Melina, Sarantos, Iakovos, Sofia, Mary, Urania and Paulina – will discover that behind the curtain of strict morality and social righteousness their fellow villagers' passions are boiling over and there are hidden secrets. As they grow older the young protagonists will pass from innocence to an awakening of the flesh with these sexual experiences indelibly marking their lives. They come to realise that sex is not only pleasure but hides numerous disappointments and pitfalls when games of sensuality also involve the heart. Shattered dreams, abandonment, exploitation and callousness lie ahead for the newly-initiated youths and girls as they are called on to handle each new situation according to their character and beliefs. Will they be able to overcome unforeseen obstacles in their struggle or will they be swept away by what appears to be written for each of them by Fate?
