Thanos Samaras and Loukia Michalopoulou in Valse Sentimentale (2007)

Director Constantina Voulgaris offers a lyrical meditation on the experiences of two exiles living in Athens with this earnest story of young love. They may be too cool to admit their feelings for one another - and too sentimental not to surrender to those feelings - but these two lonely souls will forge a deeply affectionate bond as everyone else soaks up the summer sun and travels to the surrounding islands in search of a carefree one night stand.
