39 & SINGLE! (Despoinis... eton 39!)
...with English supertitles
May 2 through June 1, 2008
This bitter-sweet comedy written by one of Greece’s foremost teams, Sakellarios and Giannakopoulos, examines an old Greek tradition as it relates to marriage. Tilemachos postpones marrying his girlfriend in order for his older sister, whom he lives with, to marry first. His closest friend convinces him that the fastest way to attract potential husbands is to place an ad in the newspapers. The suitors arrive and are ready to marry but it turns out that the women they meet in Tilemachos’ house, are not his sister. This leads to a series of hilarious episodes and farcical encounters that conclude in a poignant ending.
