Not often do we see female directors venturing into crime thrillers, but the multi-faceted Laya Yourgou certainly made a fine impression in her romantic crime drama, “Avrio tha ‘nai Arga” [Eng. title: Too Late Tomorrow].
The film doesn’t attempt to be too clever for its own sake – it allows events to develop organically, and even if the characters appear clichéd and somewhat idealistic, the story itself is incredibly romantic and gloriously escapist. There is also an endearing air of innocence about it that’s refreshing to see nowadays. And there’s also nothing wrong with a bit of indulgence in fantasy now and again. It has now generated enough interest in me to want to follow Ms. Yourgou’s other works, which I intend to.
As for the story and screenplay, even if it starts off a bit awkwardly like a TV drama, it gets better along the way, and retains viewer interest towards the end. The film is competently put together in terms of cinematography, editing and sound. The performance by the main actors is professional enough, and the standards overall are above your average light entertainment fare.
Storyline: Antonis is given leave from prison to attend his grandma’s funeral – we don’t know how long he has served, but he has five more months left, and his brother decides to cheer him up by arranging a prostitute. But once he notices Olia, the girl arranged for him harassed by her pimp, he changes his mind, and has an altercation with the pimp. He also falls in love with Olia, and instead of returning to prison to serve the rest of his sentence, he weds her, and tries to make arrangements for her upkeep while he serves the remainder of his sentence. But things don’t go according to plan, and his impetuous brother inadvertently land them in trouble. Meanwhile, the erstwhile pimp tries his best to wrest Olia back.
Compilation: Marina Kalogirou
The DVD for this film was letterboxed, but the scene was so special that I decided to enhance it using some new tools I purchased. It taxed my computer no end, but I think the end result is not too bad – worth the effort as it contains one awesome scene worth keeping.
Marina Kalogirou in one of the most impressive nude scenes you’ll ever come across in mainstream cinema, from the film, “Avrio tha ‘nai Arga”.

Scene Guide:
- Antonis and Olia – their first time together – he’d already fallen for her. Olia is of course played by the utterly gorgeous Marina Kalogirou.
- They decide to hang out at a disused club. Olia loves it, and they spontaneously get into an intimate session. This is one awesome scene worth keeping I think – what we see are two beautiful people in love, making love – full of chemistry and passion. And the soundtrack is simply spot on.
- Olia getting ready to take up a job as a waitress at a night club – while Antonis watches over with some trepidation.

Beautiful scenes – thank you
Moderator,
I’ve been comparing the run-time of this film. On imdb the run-time is stated as 95m. But on some Greek sites, their run-times are about 87m. Why the difference/discrepancy?
It is most likely not a discrepancy but the PAL speed-up compared to NTSC (action in PAL at 25 fps is slightly faster than NTSC’s 29.97 fps). By the way my DVD says it is 87 min, but is in reality 89:41 min.
If I’m looking for a European film, and worried of cuts and censored editions, with some rare exceptions, I will go for the PAL edition.

Thank you TR. I love this site but I search to own the dvd’s rather than download them. If you are interested in locating the other Marina Kalogirou film with the Greco-French actress, Anna Mouglalis, I know where you can buy the dvd. It is in Italian though.
I bought it anyways from my source.
I already have that DVD (most of the compilations here were made from one, unless it is blu-ray). The film used to be listed in ebay but if your seller has a competitive price, post the link here and also I don’t mind adding the link in the main post directly.
.
If I do that I would hope someone else would help me out, too. But no, it’s not from ebay international anywhere. I didn’t see a bluray of the movie. Before I post for Alithini Zoi, I would like a dvd source for Blanca Lewin’s Bombal. I checked out Bazuca but I think they only allow rentals and downloads. I’m not Spanish so I can’t be sure. I love water films, beach scenes. Because I don’t know and don’t have an updated computer for dl’s
Bazuca is not hire-only..!
If you check carefully the DVD is clearly priced at $9.99. You need to register before you can add items to a cart.

Thanks much TR.
To purchase Bombal, the Blanca Lewin film, I need to be a Chilean citizen living in Chile to use Bazuca. Last night I attempted to register and a person needs to have two very important things to do that. One a tax number, commonly called a RUT, provided to all Chileans (sort of like a bank account/business operations number. Then you need another number or password possibly for the website only. I used Google to translate most pages to English but DID NOT find any pages detailing international orders. Bazuca only services Chile. When I went to register, the site DID NOT allow for international residential locations. Only the Chilean metro and or the provinces. So, woe is me because I would have loved that movie to add to my collection. I suppose the only way to get it is to dl but I can’t do that.
Thanks! Beautiful compilation.
