The Wind Took My Dreams

Christina and her mother have as neighbors a man who dreams of singing and the son of a wealthy family, who is not interested in money but wants to become a painter. Both young men love Christina. She chooses the aspiring painter, against her mother's advice. The couple will have a child, but the man will end up working in construction when he discovers that he suffers from color blindness and therefore cannot paint. With the help of the second man, he reconciles with his father and mother and rebuilds his life from scratch.

Directed by Odysseas Kosteletos, The Wind Took My Dreams leans on a strong ensemble — Antzela Zileia, Nikos Dadinopoulos, Anestis Vlahos — 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 1968.
