Tsitsibou, the witch of the stage
Old Tsitsibou - the legendary rebetist, the voice that filled centers and cracked glasses and hearts - wonders if anyone stayed to remember her. And so, armed with a tape recorder, she starts telling her story, to exorcize oblivion. She remembers the horrors of the Occupation, the orphanage, the stray kindness, the day when her rare throat came out as a miracle, the unexpected Chitsanis soux that opened the door of glory for her. And then... love that went out like the streetlights at dawn, friends who got lost in the fog of time. But Chichibou doesn't give up: tenderness lurks everywhere. Dreams don't get old. A modern myth about a mythical singer, a voice born of pain and respect, a voice of life and death, and for her magical passage through the history of the Greek song.
