The Counterfeit Coin

(1955)Directed by Yorgos Tzavellas118 minComedy, Romance, Drama

In 1955 Athens, one counterfeit gold sovereign passes from hand to hand through four separate stories. An honest engraver forges it after a young widow turns his head, and it then reaches a beggar (Mimis Fotopoulos), a prostitute, a wealthy miser and a newlywed painter's household. Yorgos Tzavellas follows the coin, but Anargyros Loumbardopoulos (Vasilis Logothetidis) is the one who has to live with what it buys him.
