the most important works of Greek cinema. Evdokia is a drama of passion
whose main characters are a sergeant and a prostitute who get married
after a brief passionate idyll. Very soon, however, the influence of
their environment strains their relationship, and the man tries to break
away, but without success. The pair are surrounded by harsh light, the
rock, the bare landscapes and the military exercises, on the one hand,
sensuality and constrictions, on the other. Because of her occupation,
Evdokia both attracts and repels the sergeant. The petit bourgeois
environment, the lumpen elements, the social fringes and petty interests
stifle the young couple, which appears to want to rebel, but doesn't
succeed.
