Time with Rosie

A university physician resolves to take his own life. He wishes to spend his last night with a young prostitute. One condition only: the girl must be called Rosie — the name of the childhood love that was the great love of his life.

What drives him to the fatal decision? How unsettling can a last-minute adventure prove to be?

A different look at the pathological physiology of love and at the wearing-away of dreams.

From the Athens of yesterday and today to the Bangkok of sex tourism. From the refugee quarters of Podoniftis to the maisonettes of Ekali. Memories of the education reform, the “Anendoto,” the Polytechnic generation, the youth festivals. The unfulfilment of ambitions, refusal, the need to change course. A gifted musician snaps his baton. He will succeed as a doctor, yet for all his specialist knowledge of the act of love he comes to realise how little he knows of love itself.
