Along with the great Maria Aliferi, Chrysa Markata, Vasilis Samaritakis,Florentia Bembi, Kostis Savvidakis, and Lambros Koloi, Yorgos Voulgaris’ role in the movie is characterised simultaneously cynical but deeply emotional. The movie was filmed in Greece mostly in Voiotia, in rivers, in caves, valleys and forests only with natural light.
