The Weeping Meadow

The Weeping Meadow is the first film of a trilogy, directed by Theodoros Angelopoulos. The movie begins in 1919 with Greek refugees from Odessa arriving somewhere near Thessaloniki due to the Russian invasion. Among these refugees are Alexis (Nikos Poursadinis), who is travelling with his family, and Eleni (Alexandra Aidini), who is an orphan taken in by Spyros (Vassilis Kolovos), a village elder. The refugees build a small village and the lives of the two children growing up, developing a sincere closeness, and eventually falling in love in the cold refugee camp is shown in a heartfelt manner. As if a looming dictatorship is not hardship enough, circumstances between Eleni (Alexandra Aidini) and Spyros force her to run away with her childhood friend and love. Her foster father, Spyros, vows to find the runaways at any cost. The children eventually band together with a group of travelling musicians led by Nikos (Giorgos Armenis) and always try to stay a step ahead of their pursuer. MORE [EDIT]
