This is basically a movie about family relations: brother with brother, father with son.
Judge Makantasis and his three sons get along so well you can almost feel it as the movie goes on. The scene where all the four dance in the Greek way shows us how well based are the love and caring from one to the others.
Loyalty among brothers, because of a girl. Loyalty with their father, and how their world goes upside down when he dies.
I think is genial the way the director shows the story in a non-chronological order, dividing it in as many parts as brothers. It makes you understand each one's motivation.
A movie about family, fathers, sons, brothers, love, loyalty, sacrifice.
