What happens

The Big Streets (Greek: Megaloi dromoi) is a 1953 Greek drama film directed by Grigoris Grigoriou and starring Dinos Dimopoulos, Liana Liapi and Giannis Argyris. It was neorealist in style. Its failure at the box office led Grigoriou to turn to making more potentially commercial films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
