      Storyline

      Edit
      After slaving away all morning at a construction site, the young but poor construction worker, Grigoris, decides to take a break and starts singing. But, his sweet and melodious song will reach the ears of Vagelis, a successful maestro who happened to pass by--and much to everyone's surprise--Grigoris will land the perfect job as a member of his band and a lead singer. Of course, Grigoris' success won't be left unnoticed by his lively wife, Marina, who, naturally, wants to unfold her abundant talent in the nightclub. Now, who is the biggest star? —Nick Riganas

      Great
      A like so much that movie, the music is absolutely stonic. Old, good, poor, true greek society. Nostalgic and pure.
