Roza

In an inn in Trieste, Kyveli, wife of a political prisoner of the junta, falls in love with an old student of her husband, who has been distinguished for his activities against the dictatorship. But he will be forced to run away, along with his lover, as they are hunted by the police. Kyveli will go to Strasbourg to present evidence to the Council of Europe, which proves human rights violations in Greece, but the session is postponed and she now lives in a web of fantasies and unfulfilled expectations.

Directed by Hristoforos Hristofis, Roza leans on a strong ensemble — Andrzej Seweryn, Eva Kotamanidou, Daniel Olbrychski — 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 1982.
