Loula Anagnostaki

Anna has always been a woman with a strong personality. She is acutely aware of where she was led by her choices. In the midst of the memories and questions concerning her past and her choices, she recalls the memory of a young teenage boy who waited for her to show up on their date in vain, while she never explained to him the reason why she never showed up. The boy’s response to her absence was a letter and a poem. Years later, Anna’s daughter and her friends are struggling to find the lyrics to a song, in order to participate in a jazz festival. Anna presents them with the poem and waits at her home for them, in order to rehearse the song.
