Strella (2009)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

AKA: A Woman’s Way
Year: 2009
Directed by: Panos H. Koutras
Starring: Mina Orfanou (Strella), Yannis Kokiasmenos (Yorgos)
Country: Greece, European Cinema
Language: Greek (English subs)
Runtime: 01:46:50

Plot – Spoilers:
After 14 years doing time for beating someone to death, Yorgos has been released into a Greece he feels disconnected from. He has no family left. His son Leonidas was a kid at the time of his incarceration and has not been in touch since. And his house is rotting away back in his village.

After sampling the emptiness of Athens, Yorgos feels it’s the right place to drop anchor in. He decides to sever the dark past associated with his village, sell his property, and move to Athens. His decision is partly influenced by an attractive transsexual prostitute he fucked in his hotelroom and with whom he feels the possibility of a relationship.

Massive Spoilers:
 
 
Strella is a beautiful moving story that makes it hard to apportion blame to either of the suffering characters. It’s debatable whether Strella was completely unaware of what exactly she wanted from Yorgos.

She has clearly been living with the memory of being in love with an uncle who was taken away by force. The uncle’s murder wasn’t just about punishing a pedophile. There appears to have been an element of a father in denial of his son’s sexuality.

So what better way to punish the man responsible for all the mess in her life than by having him fuck her now.

Genres: Transsexual-Gay Themed, Prostitution, Family, Incest

“we’ll work it out”
when everything is fucked beyond repair, it’s not about fixing something anymore. it’s about making something new with the pieces; to put them in a different order

It’s not effedup, mate, it’s cutie. Just because it’s an “unusual couple” doesn’t mean it’s effedup, there are a lot of this here, maybe who posts lives in countryside or Brunei.

Fascinating and bizarre. 5 star film. Excellent acting and very well made. I’m going to watch it again. I would have never known about this movie if it wasn’t for EUM. Thank you EUM. You’re the best!

Sort of off topic:
A question for all you straight guys. If you were forced at gunpoint to fuck a transsexual and you only had 2 choices, Strella or Michelle Obama, who would you choose? (I’d pick Strella – much more feminine looking).

Loved this film. Surprising softness despite the hard edges.
Not sure what was up with the squirrel.
