was conceived...

...2 years before the old man, God

rest his soul, contracted the disease.

Music lovers of Andros.

This evening Miss Hexadaktylou

will be giving a piano recital.

Don't miss the musical feast

with European melodies!

165 postcards.

My pupils don't forget me.

And Mikes' pupils loved him.

Your attention please!

At 9:
00 this evening...

I'm a literature teacher

by profession.

I'm still a schoolgirl

by disposition.

Go on, tell me...

Who is he?

Like an avalanche in the Alps!

Ah! An off-topic answer.

I'll give you a D!

He gave me an A.

But what am I saying?

He must be a seaman. What else?

Voyages, oceans,

thousands of miles...

The blue flows

and we flow with it.

So, who is he?

Name and surname.

- I'd rather not say.

- He isn't married, is he?

No!

No!

You've always been such

a one for secrets...

You feed on them,

you're bewitched by them.

I felt my heart burst open

like a pomegranate...

...without a sound...

...and the little rubies

forming arcs in the air...

...stumbling over my shoulders...

...leaping on the cobbled streets

like fireflies.

Go on...

He looks at me and I'm on fire...

...like a little piece of coal

in an incense burner.

He just looks at you?

Nana...

...a man's fingers are heavy.

They just touch you

and you turn to stone.

He must be sailing the Cape Verde

as we speak.

And you came at his behest

ask for the hand of my Orsa...

...who is, by general consent...

...10-15 kilos short of

being a true Aphrodite!

See here Emilios, your nephew

has yet to make his fortune.

He's a second mate.

There are captains who have asked me

for her hand in marriage.

Spyros will be a captain too,

before he turns 30.

Will be...

He doesn't even have his own house.

- He will have.

- Will have...

He's a hard worker.

Quick on the uptake.

Outgoing...

I raised him...

...since he was five.

A governess.

Knee deep in pigeon sh*t.

Captain Savvas respects those

who make a living at sea.

He values good seamen.

You should ask his opinion.

He commands his ship.

I command the household.

You never know what the future

holds for a seaman, Emilios.

I must ensure my daughter's security.

A life without money

is a life without joy.

Don't tell me...

Don't tell me they have feelings

for each other!

Don't tell me your charmer nephew

has mistaken my daughter...

...for a harbor whore?

We're adults now.

We know the sorrows every house has.

Mina... a heavy purse

isn't everything.

There are a lot of sacred things

involved. My hands are tied.

I owe a soul a debt of gratitude.

And!

Katina, Kiki, Moscha and Marie!

The 4-member KKMM sorority!

Katina, Kiki, Moscha, Marie...
