I see him for the first time.

Come, the car is waiting.

- Take off his handcuffs.

- We got instructions.

Get here for a moment?

What do you want?

The handcuffs are not necessary.

Take them off.

- I beg you.

- He is a minor. So is the law.

I'm born here,

and a minor.

Yes, so it went well.

But we are also half Greek.

Your brother is waiting outside.

- Where is my bag?

- You get it at the exit.

- Don't ask.

- Moment.

One Moment. One Moment.

You have made trouble again.

Everything OK?

All is well.

Now he has to go into a dorm.

We get it quickly out again.

- I will not go there.

- It's only for a short time.

Certainly.

You can even go out there.

Let's go to Thessaloniki.

Now or never.

You will win "Greek Star".

Then we get money from the "Nameless"

and citizenship.

Forget it.

Come on.

Ody, please!

Ody, please!

Hello, a warm sandwich

with ham, cheese and mustard.

All right.

- What are you doing here?

- I had to go there.

You run away?

It was really bad there.

Let me sleep, I'm broken.

At best,

Will you see me

with the cold

you never had

And maybe you'll do so

As if you do not know my name

Maybe you'll even

call me Mister

Or at best,

Are you going to ask me

How many men I've had

To forget you

But you know very well

That a girl like me

isn't kidding with the love

Has never been joking with love

At best,

you're going to insult me

and then send me away

and tell me,

that you're no longer interested

On a girl

that only was there

to amuse you a little

And so I will go

And you'll chase me

beg my pardon

and caress me

You'll remember my name

- Wake up. We go away.

- What?

For an hour I was looking for you.

So what's going on?

We missed the bus.

Come on now.

All right, stay cool.

Let's go.

Dido, there you are, my boy.

I can not walk in this heat.

This is your fault. Come on.

We hitchhike.

With your look?

It's out of the question.

- What's so funny?

- Forget it.

I know. Let us practice your song.

No.

I thought I sing something modern.

No, sing "Tutt'al pi"

as Mama taught you.

Trust me.

Remember that, Patty Pravo brings good luck.

I have nothing to wear.

You've just perfect.

Madame Tassos has certainly

a few vintage clothes left.

I'll make you hair.

This has been missing.

You say it.

- Good Evening.

- Hello.

- We want to Mr Tassos Peris.

- Mr Tassos?

Why is?

- We are relatives.

- Exactly.

Wait here.

What's up, guys?

I do not believe it.

What I gave you, you idiot

You did not deserve

You let me sleep alone

You are nothing

It has always been that way

You're nothing

What I should remember

What I gave you, you idiot

You didn't deserve

You let me sleep alone
