Synopsis
Our Opening Night Selection. Crete, 1889. Captain Michalis is an uncompromising Cretan whose sacred duty is the liberation of Crete. However, the moment he meets Emine, the wife of his blood brother, Nouribeys, he's possessed by a demon. Temptation won't leave him alone and distracts him from his duty. The decision of whether to follow his duty or succumb to his passion will have a catalytic effect on all involved. The novel Captain Michalis, upon which the film is based, has won international acclaim. It's been translated into 28 languages and is Nikos Kazantzakis' best-selling work worldwide. Inspired by the author’s childhood memories of his father in Crete, it delves into the Cretan people’s particular way of life and their fervent desire for freedom. The events in the story take place shortly before the Cretan Revolution, which aimed to liberate the island of Crete from the Ottoman Turks.
