About The Big Streets
An only child of poor farmers goes to Athens to study medicine. He meets and falls in love with an orphan girl who aspires to become a singer. The young man's father and the girl's aunt, with whom she lives, oppose their relationship. Eventually, the two go to live in a boarding house with their newborn child. They live in poverty and hardship because the young man is an unknown doctor. They quarrel, but they make up and go to live in the doctor's village, now happy.
Directed by Grigoris Grigoriou, The Big Streets leans on a strong ensemble — Dinos Dimopoulos, Liana Liapi, Giannis Argyris — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1953.
