Anthismeni amygdalia (1959)

Every day, somewhere at a picturesque neighbourhood in turn-of-the-century Athens, the love-smitten coffee-shop owner, Panagis, leaves a fragrant flower at the window of the frail and sensitive, Marina, having no other way to express his deeper feelings for her. However, the charming maiden has eyes only for the handsome intellectual, Georgios Drosinis, even though her strict mother, Erato, prefers the family's physician to be her son-in-law. Against the backdrop of a romantic Athenian Easter, and the torrid inspiration stemming from the vegetal rain of a delicately wonderful almond tree, the ardent lovers already know that they are meant for each other. Can the sweet pale petals and a beautiful poem inspire a great romance?
