I want to live in the sun. (1966)

I want to live in the sun.

This is one of the many variations on the Romeo and Juliet myth, in which young love reunites two children, Dimitris and Myrto, whose families hate each other to death. Myrto's father caused Dimitris' father to be financially ruined and, although both men are dead, the hatred of Dimitris' mother, Theophile, does not seem to fade. This time, the feeling between the two young people blooms again under the sun of Chalkidiki, where Myrto and her aunt Eleni are going on vacation. Dimitris does not seek any revenge and his interest in Myrto is sincere and guileless. The feeling is mutual, while the passions and hatreds of the past fade away under the blue sky and the hot sun...
