Η φλόγα της ελευθερίας

During the Occupation, a woman is hired by the Gestapo as a secretary. She helps members of the national resistance in any way she can, but at the same time she faces the disapproval of her fellow villagers, who consider her a traitor.

Directed by Panayiotis Spyrou, Η φλόγα της ελευθερίας leans on a strong ensemble — Spyros Kallimanis, Rena Galani, Kaiti Lambropoulou — 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 1962.
