A life without revenge is like a night without a moon!

In 1943, on the island of Crete, pro- and anti-fascists are fighting one other. When Alexandros is shot by Vasilli, his widow vows vengeance, initiating a vendetta which continues on to the present day. When some elderly Cretans living in Melbourne see Vassili, now a prosperous businessman, they alert Manos, the grandson of Alexandros. Manos, however, isn`t the killing kind; he`s a gentle village school-teacher, and he doesn`t want to continue the vendetta. He does, however, have a twin brother who is eager to do the job. This Greek-Australian co-production, directed by John Tatoulis, who made The Silver Brumby, was released 2 ? years ago in Greece, where it was quite a success perhaps because of the presence of popular entertainer Lakis Lazopoulos, who plays both the brothers. It`s a comedy which starts off well, but loses steam in the middle, but the performances, including Zoe Caridies as the love interest and John Bluthal, as a wily old pillar of the Crete community in Melbourne, are enjoyable. Lazopoulos himself is an amiable presence in this minor, but still quite attractive, film.
