Following a sellout session at The Astor, join us at Palace Cinema Como on Sunday 27 November for an encore screening of Manousos Manousakis' Cloudy Sunday.

Based on a book by George Skarbadonis, Cloudy Sunday is an epic collision of love and tragedy ­– fact and fiction – using the soul-stirring music of rebetika legend Vasilis Tsitsanis as its heartbeat.

It is 1942 and Thessaloniki is under Nazi occupation. But even brutal totalitarian oppression cannot stop a young Christian, Yorgos, and Jewish woman, Estrea, from falling in love. They find refuge in a tavern run by Vasilis Tsitsanis (Andreas Konstantinou) at a time when he composed many of his most famous songs, including the titular Cloudy Sunday.

Cloudy Sunday tells the relatively unknown story of Thessaloniki’s Jewish community during the Second World War, but also acts as a chilling reminder that history will repeat itself if we rest on our laurels and allow ourselves to forget.
