“Tears From Paradise” (Silicon Tears) is a parody of the main melodramatic themes of old Greek commercial films of the ’60s.
The story is a synthesis of the most common themes developed during that period. It is about the conflict between two families: the poor Bisbiki family and the rich Delafraga family, in a story that takes us from folk melodrama to the movies of social criticism, to courtroom dramas, to musical shows of the ’60s. Unfulfilled love stories, class differences, sinking ships, long lost children, quarrels and above all dark secrets. Secrets that take us back to the years of the German Nazi Occupation and even further back, to the beginning of the century, using two flashbacks inspired by the cinematography of the time..
