About Maiden's Cheek
Young teacher Floras arrives to teach a class at a girls’ high school in Athens. His students, daughters of rich Athenian families, are very spoilt making his and the other teachers work difficult. When he starts implementing discipline in his class, the girls use every means to get rid of him. But the most undisciplined, Lisa Papastavrou, falls in love with him.
Directed by Alekos Sakellarios, Maiden's Cheek leans on a strong ensemble — Aliki Vougiouklaki, Dimitris Papamichael, Dionysis Papagiannopoulos — 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 comedy titles of 1959.
