STELLA:LIVE IN BOSTON

Details

• Release Year: 1955
• Genre: Drama, Music, Romance
• Plot: Fiercely proud and unapologetically independent, Stella--the blonde Rebetico diva and flamboyant entertainer of a small nightclub named Paradise--is. above all, a woman who cherishes her freedom. Choosing to give in to desire without ever committing herself to one man, the feisty vocalist stays true to her ideals, but a fateful encounter with explosive, egotistic football player Miltos, paves the way for an unexpected, all-consuming whirlwind romance. Up until now, no one has ever managed to control Stella and rob her of her precious autonomy, but Miltos is the inadvertent catalyst in an already-volatile relationship, and he demands total surrender. Undoubtedly, love is grand but it can be dangerous--and as everything points to a tragic ending, only a paradoxical act of carnivorous devotion can provide catharsis. And in the aftermath of passion, there can be no winners.
