Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Light and funny, romantic.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 24 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1959: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Lisa (Xenia Kalogeropoulou) runs away from her father at the Athens airport because she does not want to marry a rich man from Paris whom her father has chosen for her. She hitchhikes to the city, where she meets Giorgos (Kostas Kakkavas) a handsome driver. Then, she runs away from him as well and tries to find her mother’s brother (Iordanis), whom she has never seen before. Her father publishes her photo in the newspapers and offers a reward of one hundred thousand drachmas to anyone who finds her. Lisa is now afraid that everyone can identify her, and so, in order to hide, she mingles with a group of tourists. However, she is unaware that her uncle is their guide. Giorgos has followed her in order to find out the reason she left him so suddenly, takes her in his car one more time, and they spend the night together.
