Kokkinos ouranos (2011)
Two close friends, Aris and Stelios, have their minds on a mutual goal;
they "immigrate" to the south of Greece and together they begin a banana
greenhouse business in Crete. There they live secluded in a house by
the countryside, with a magnificent view of the Libyan Sea having as
their sole amusement Angeliki's nearby tavern. This is a place where
mostly foreign tourists arrive; drown like magnets by the magic of the
unknown, red African horizon. Determined to keep women out of their
lives, they, and mostly Aris, are unfriendly towards the newly arrived
Cordoba, a friend of Aris' sister who lives and works in Germany.
Stelios, after going on a casual stroll with her in the island's market,
will end up going to bed with her. In a mood of recklessness that
"suits" summer affairs. But this "one night stand" will develop into a
relationship and lead to Cordoba moving in the house the two friends
share. Feeling antagonistic, mostly towards Stelios, Aris finds himself
flirting with Cordoba. In his own way, being quite the opposite of
Stelios's, he fascinates her and finally wins her erotic interest as
Cordoba finds in each one of them elements she is looking for in a man's
personality. This split in her desire and the hesitation to decide will
trigger the crash between Aris and Stelios. What follows will put their
friendship to the test and will overturn balances between them. The
greenhouse, representing and summarizing their common choices, is
completely destroyed by a sudden storm and with it anything else they
had jointly created falls apart
