S.E.X

(ΣΟΥΛΑ ΕΛΑ ΞΑΝΑ)

Dir. Vassilis Mirianthopoulos

Greek with English subtitles
Greece/2009/85mins/digibeta
Written by Vassilis Mirianthopoulos & Olga Michalopoulou
Produced by Manos Krezias, Kostas Lambropoulos & Dionyssis Samiotis

As its cheeky acronym title suggests, S.E.X is an irreverent wink at contemporary Greek life, as seen through the eyes of a blonde, buxom and beautiful Cretan, Soula Saribougiouki; the kind of girl who’s been wearing Chanel No. 19 since her teen years.

Single by choice, Soula receives some unexpected gifts for her 30th birthday: four proposals of marriage. What’s even more surprising is she decides to accept one. Her three aunts are thrilled. Her two friends rush to help her. And the four candidate grooms head to Spetses where Soula works as a teacher. A test will help her make her final choice, but things get a little complicated... Evoking the ebullience and matrimonial conundrums of Mamma Mia, this feel-good film will leave your toes tapping and a smile on your face.
