REVIEWS
“An exceptionally intimate and sensitive contemporary love story, with acute character studies… Take Care is highly effective… we see a society very like our own.” Kevin Thomas, LOS ANGELES TIMES “The eyes of the –many– characters are fired-up, charged with emotion which flows through every situation … behind which there are some substantial human observations. Kaiti Papanika gives us a very good performance, Stamatis Spanoudakis’ music is elevating.”” G. Bakogiannopoulos, KATHIMERINI “Really perfect rhythms, in a discreet, tender, well acted film, where emotion and excitement make this simple story touch us deeply.” Rosita Sokou APOGEVMATINI “High sensitivity, neo-romantic writing, fine lyrical atmosphere, force and passion, Tsemberopoulos stands on the side of those who fight for a dream.” G. Flessas, ETHNOS “A well written, acted and staged story, a remarkable film.” Th. Liakopoulos, ENA |
SYNOPSIS
Seeing his dream to become a singer in the big city crumble, a young man will find a job at a butcher shop and inadvertently act as a catalyst in the life of three women. Small insignificant dramas played out every day without ever hitting the news. The setting is the archetypal "Athenian apartment", a futile test tube where needs, dreams, and passions stir.
