Biography
Vicky Moscholiou (Greek: Βίκυ Μοσχολιού, 23 May 1943 – 16 August 2005), was a Greek performer with a significant repertoire and a huge contribution to the Greek culture and the history of lyrical (entechno) and urban folk (laiko) song. Manos Hatzidakis described her voice as "the cello of Greek music", while Mikis Theodorakis called her "a singer resembling an ancient Doric boulder". Yannis Tsarouchis had said that "Vicky Moscholiou is the Kotopouli of Greek song.” Lefteris Papadopoulos noted that "the Greek song owes its voice to her," and Giannis Markopoulos said, "Vicky Moscholiou is gifted with natural talent".

Illegal desires
Four episodes, four instances from a man’s life covering 25 years, from 1965 in Germany to 1990 in Athens. The episodes seem to be irrelevant to one another, yet they all focus on male powerplay, reveal the self-consciousness and moderation of the protagonist’s idiosyncrasy and depict some special aspects of the Greek male mentality. Probably Nikos Panayotopoulos’ most personal film, covering a substantial period of his generation’s years, “I’m dreaming of my friends” is based on the book by Dimitris Nollas, looks a lot like a “road movie” and features an all-male cast, as if there’s no room for women in it.
