The Reason why Valou left, 1981

5 male – 5 female

Rina (Cyprus) Katselli

The play grapples with the everyday life of a contemporary urbanized family in Cyprus, in the foundations of which we see the life values it once had, which were consciously expelled by its members in the name of the modern way of life. The question that remains unanswered is what replaces those values and how we fill our empty souls and lives. Valou, the protagonist, is the servant of the house, who leaves the family when she finally loses every bit of respect for her boss.

It was presented on television by the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (ΡΙΚ) in 1986. The film was saved and it is sporadically projected on television.
