About If the Violin Were a Bird
A violinist, Lefteris, is constantly running around on account of his work - from the Symphonic Orchestra to the Church. One Sunday, an incident caused by the competition between two churches sends him to prison, where he tells the story of his life to a fellow-prisoner. He has had an eventful life, rich in both marriage and divorce.
Directed by Takis Vougiouklakis, If the Violin Were a Bird leans on a strong ensemble — Sotiris Moustakas, Giannis Michalopoulos, Giannis Vogiatzis — 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 1984.
