Stella

Nov 21 1955 N/A 1h 30m
Drama, Romance

The story of a young, wild woman who doesn't want to compromise and settle down. Stella is a restless, rebellious Greek woman who plays with men and enjoys her life as much as she can. But when she meets a young footballer, things get mixed up. She loves him but she loves her freedom too. So it's about time she made an important choice.

Plot

Fiercely proud and unapologetically independent, Stella--the blonde Rebetico diva and flamboyant entertainer of a small nightclub named Paradise--is. above all, a woman who cherishes her freedom. Choosing to give in to desire without ever committing herself to one man, the feisty vocalist stays true to her ideals, but a fateful encounter with explosive, egotistic football player Miltos, paves the way for an unexpected, all-consuming whirlwind romance. Up until now, no one has ever managed to control Stella and rob her of her precious autonomy, but Miltos is the inadvertent catalyst in an already-volatile relationship, and he demands total surrender. Undoubtedly, love is grand but it can be dangerous--and as everything points to a tragic ending, only a paradoxical act of carnivorous devotion can provide catharsis. And in the aftermath of passion, there can be no winners.
