Entertainment / Greek Series





Period drama miniseries.
Set in Corfu in 1906, the period drama miniseries "Sinful Love" produced by ERT1, directed by Nikos Koutelidakis and written by Eleni Zioga, brings to life in an artistic way the eponymous short story by Konstantinos Theotokis.

The six-episode series tells a story of forbidden passion in an oppressive patriarchal society that tests the limits and endurance of its characters. Each of the heroes is confronted with their most dangerous secrets, which they dare not confess even to themselves.

Plot:
Stathis Therianos (played by Nikos Psaras), one of the most hardworking and responsible inhabitants of the village of Dafnila in Corfu, is married to Diamando (Karyofyllia Karambeti). He secretly and passionately falls in love with the young Chrysavgi (Eugenia Xygkourou), the coveted daughter of wealthy landowner Spyros Aspreas (Yannis Dalianis). Enchanted by her unparalleled beauty, he does everything in his power to arrange her marriage to his son Giorgis (Michail Tambakakis) in order to have her close to him, even in this way.

Diamando tries to prevent the engagement, knowing the dark "shadow" of her husband, although he has been an exemplary husband and father all these years. Diamando's futile attempts to persuade her son to marry his childhood friend Evgenia (Isabella Baltsavia) to prevent the evil from happening are in vain. Giorgis and Chrysavgi get married and settle in her parents' house, as dictated by the social norms of the time. When Giorgis leaves to fulfill his military service, Chrysavgi finds herself at the mercy of Therianos, who is consumed by a mad passion for his daughter-in-law, awakening the "beast" that lies within him. Every day, he struggles with himself and alcohol, desperately trying to tame his darkest demons.

Unaware of the real problem, Chrysavgi's noble and imposing mother, Katerina (Mariandi Sontaki), senses that something is wrong in her daughter's new home. However, no one reveals the truth to her.

The bride and the mother-in-law join forces for a common purpose, engaging in a secret war that has been declared inside Therianos' house. It remains to be seen which of the two will prevail: the criminal passion of the patriarch or the fair alliance of oppressed women.

Today: «The Εngagement» [With English subtitles]
Episode 1

Stathis Therianos, a working-class husband from the village of Dafnilas in Corfu, decides to marry his son, Giorgis, to Chrysavgi, the highly sought-after daughter of wealthy Spyros Aspreas. Does he truly believe she is the best bride for his son or has he developed a sinful passion, which he tries to cover up with his son's wedding?

His wife, Diamanto, sensing that this marriage will not turn out well for them, tries to sabotage the engagement by redirecting her son's interest to his childhood friend, Evgenia. Giorgos, having already quarreled with his father because he didn't seek his opinion before arranging the engagement with Chrysavgi, decides to propose to Evgenia. However, on his way to her house, he encounters Chrysavgi and, enchanted by her beauty, falls in love with her. Therefore, he decides on his own to marry her, rejecting Evgenia. Giorgos and Chrysavgi's engagement takes place with all the celebrations. The two are happy, and Diamanto sets aside her concerns. However, Therianos begins to show signs of an unconfessed passion for his future daughter-in-law, which Diamando detects and becomes deeply disturbed.
