Overview

Isabel Burger would normally consider herself lucky. An unexpected inheritance takes Isabel, a trained chef, to Crete, where her German father left her a country house complete with its own olive grove. If only her failed startup in Munich and the resulting financial woes hadn’t led to the recent opening of insolvency proceedings against her. Isabel’s insolvency administrator gives her four weeks to sell her house on Crete as best she can and use the proceeds to pay off her creditors.

The Sun-Baked Island of Crete

Jun 30, 1959

The traditional and modest life in deep rural Crete. A film on the verge of traditional documentary film and an attempt to find a new direction in terms of what documentary film could be. An envious look at contemporary works by his fellow filmmakers from the British Free Cinema, obviously spurred on director Pitt Koch’s ambition.
