The opening is promising (a lecherous middle-aged man tries to spy on a topless female neighbor and falls from the roof; he is sent to the hospital with a dying brain but a living heart), the ending is beautiful and even touching (his widow finally meets the man to whom his heart is eventually transplanted after his death; Livanou is the one cast member who brings so much gravitas to her role), but the middle is a series of pointless, repetitive "erotic fantasy" vignettes, unrelated to the main story. These should either have been better-written, or left out altogether. Panousopoulos seems to be a talented, if occasionally pretentious, Greek director. ** out of 4.

Warning: Spoilers
A very well crafted greek movie
cnwiper2 July 2003
I saw it when it first came out and i liked it instantly..It evolves around the idea that through a heart transplant a rather conservative man suddenly adopts the wild crave and love(obsession would be the suitable word) for the opposite sex that the donor possessed and that eventualy led to his demise...Sweet ,romantic and passionate in an attractive european sort of way ..7/10
