Yesterday I dreamed of you. I almost no longer remember the individual facts. I only know that we were constantly transforming into each other. I was you, you were me. Finally, I don't know how, you caught fire.F. Kafka A man who drags himself through a sentimental winter of which we know nothing meets a girl who has inside the fire of feelings that burn freely. The man with the heart buried in the snow sees years, decades, centuries, entire existences of solitude and hell melt away, in a single moment. And he tells it too, to the girl, with tears in her eyes, at the moment when the fire has already burned everything. This is Kostis, he is forty-two years old, a little overweight, hairy, with a hint of baldness, shy, reserved. He has just arrived on the island where he will be a doctor. It is a place that dies in winter. The approximately eight hundred souls who inhabit it live according to the summer, August, when the small island is filled with tourists, with pulsating life. Kostis has nothing but his past, of which we can only glimpse distant echoes – of rejection and failures, of illusions and broken dreams. He is a dull, resigned, surrendered man. She is Anna, she is twenty-one years old, of an explosive beauty, luminous, smiling, uninhibited, carefree. She arrives on the island with her group of friends for the summer holidays. They are all very young, they just want to have fun. Dancing, laughing, discovering, fucking. Without commitment, without worries, without problems. Anna meets Kostis in her small doctor's office, with her friends also present. She injured her leg. He heals her. They make a mess. She looks him in the eyes, smiles at him, invites him to the seaside with them. She kisses him. When the resigned, disappointed, wounded man meets the explosive, joyful, sweet girl, then that man is a dead man. Kostis – who probably never was

CONTAINS SPOILERS! The film, written and directed by Argyris Papadimitropoulos, tells the story of Kostis (Makis Papadimitriou), a doctor who ends up on the small island of Antiparos. The winter passes monotonously, with its eight hundred inhabitants awaiting the beautiful season, when the island is populated by uninhibited young people. It is in the summer that Kostis meets Anna (Elli Tringou), to whom he gives first aid for a leg wound , immediately becoming enchanted. She thus begins to frequent the beach where she spends time in the company of some friends. Kostis is overweight, bald and rather introverted, therefore uncomfortable on a nudist beach. But the young people welcome him and start dating. During a pool party Kostis suffers when he sees the ease with which Anna behaves with other men: he feels like a fish out of water. Nonetheless, the two have sexual intercourse, but Anna distances herself from him, throwing him into the deepest desperation. As if that wasn't enough, Kostis's behavior is stigmatized by the local community, due to his interactions and the lightness with which he approaches his work. In the end he is fired. Seduced and abandoned, the man finally loses his mind, and when he confronts the girl in rude ways, he is thrown out of a club. Completely lacking in self-control, he kidnaps Anna's friend, drugs her and tries to abuse her, but gives up, realizing the brutality of what he is doing. He takes care of the unfortunate woman, torn by guilt and frustration. The epilogue sees the protagonist swallowed by a vortex that drags him into the abyss of destructive emotions. We could define Kostis as a modern Antiulisse, on the other hand we are in the Greek archipelago with a predominantly Greek cast. However, unlike the Homeric hero who exerts the charm of the castaway foreigner on the female figures of the islands where he lands, Suntan's perspective is

Suntan seems to begin where another beautiful Greek film ended (among other things, the last one I saw), Chevalier of the Tsangari. Again a ship, again the sea, the same actor (who there was lost among the others) in a role practically identical to that of Tsangari's film. Kostis is a doctor of over forty, shy, good, apparently - and also in fact - not a luminary. He ends up, no one knows how, on the island of Antiparos which - as its name tells you in a perfect way - it is a small island in front of Paros. We arrive in winter, during the Christmas period, when there is also a Santa Claus in his room who timidly tries to illuminate and make things less silent and depressing. winter is a moratorium, a kind of large bar where men drink and talk about pussy while waiting for the topic they're talking about to arrive in summer. And in Antiparos, there's a lot, a lot of that thing. And not only does it come in a lot but this is an island without inhibitions, where boys and girls stand naked on the beach without any problems, dildos, tits and vaginas in the wind. In short, an island of excitement and fun, with available many beaches and an indigenous population (only 800 inhabitants) which is too small to feel upset. Fucking upset, one might say, they can't wait for summer to come so they can feast their eyes and finally do some business ( you practically only work 3 months a year). Something happens. It happens that a beautiful girl arrives in the small clinic in Kostis (Greek but still on holiday, not from there) who has had a small accident with the quad. The girl is accompanied by her 4 foreign friends, a small group of handsome boys and beautiful girls completely crazy. In those 5 minutes in the clinic everything happens. The shy Kostis is overwhelmed by the exuberance of the group (very promiscuous among other things, everyone goes
