The film tells a story that illuminates the shadows of everyday life, the hidden secrets, troubled relationships and cost of allegiance.
Lives on the island are defined by the long absence of men working on steamships, the loneliness of women on the island and the  strict social requirements of the era.
The  film based on the book by Joanna Karystiani  from Chania takes place on the Greek island  Andros, in  the 30s and 40s.

The book “Little England”, published in 1997, was awarded the State Prize for Novel and was translated into many foreign languages.

I'm Austrian living in Tavronitis, love nature, music, good books, sunsets, the sea, travelling, socializing and more. I came to Crete as a student in the early 70s, exploring the west and southwest of the island with friends by motorbike. When you are young everything is important and, there are lots of things to do...I did. Job, family,children, travelling the world. But I never lost my love for Crete for a minute. And nine years ago I ended up in this convenient corner of Crete, not only for holidays, but to stay and haven't regretted it for a minute.
