Phaedra, a young school teacher, spends a summer on the island of Kithira. There, she meets Orestes, an author, in an idyllic setting. Every evening, she waits on a stone bench for Dimitris, a mysterious young man she met a year ago. After a passionate love affair, he disappeared, promising to meet her again in exactly one year.

Orestes falls for her. When she shares her story, he initially tries to distract her from it. She’s torn, but when he realizes that Dimitris is the true love of her life, he decides to help her. Orestes ventures into the underworld in search of Dimitris and eventually finds him. He reminds Dimitris of his promise to Phaedra, then withdraws to live an isolated life.

Dimitris reunites with Phaedra, and for a brief time, they relive their love. This period is emotionally intense for Orestes. But soon, Phaedra begins to notice the stark differences between her world and Dimitris’s mafia lifestyle. She reaches out to Orestes, but he’s already preparing to leave for good. Once again, their timing is off.

Eventually, Phaedra becomes disillusioned and breaks up with Dimitris. Orestes is now far away, and Phaedra is left in melancholy. The following summer finds her again on the same bench, alone, waiting for a miracle, until it happens: Orestes shows up.

Born in Athens on 26/09/1963, I was raised in the film industry as the son of director Kostas Andritsos. I began working in film at a young age, starting as an assistant to renowned sound designer Argyris Lazarides while studying sound design. To expand my skills, I later enrolled in Stavrakos Film School to become an assistant director.

During my service in the Greek Navy, I managed an outdoor cinema and documented various events. In 1990, I began working in Greek television as a director and writer for Aperitif (Mega Channel), followed by the game show Time to Get Lucky. In 1991, I created my first TV drama series The Trast (ANT1), which aired for two seasons and was later translated for Spanish TV.

In 1992, I directed Greece’s first daily TV drama, The Shadow of Money (ANT1), followed by Fear (ERT2), both featuring well-known Greek actors. In 1993, my personal project Galazio Diamanti aired for two seasons on ANT1. Other works include Erotas ke Pathos (MEGA, 1995) and the film Choris Logo (1998).

Since 1995, I have taught scriptwriting, directing, and production at public and private film schools. I later worked on the Filmnet show Ti Paizei and adapted Les Misérables for the stage in 2002. From 2004–2008, I served as editor-in-chief of Professional Camera magazine, writing on both equipment and cinema theory.

From 2010 onward, I have written and directed for various independent theatres in Greece, including Gialino Mousiko Theatro. I am a member of the Greek Theatre Association, the Greek Directors Association, and the Greek Scriptwriters Association.

Scenario is life, more than life and only life. We are just the wind that blows the pages.
