Synopsis: Chester MacFarland (Mortensen) and his wife Colette (Dunst) are in Athen for holidays. They meet Rydal (Isaac), a guy starring at Colette at different places. They will be forced to move together and both men discover unexpected faces of the other.
Review: The story, the camera and the lights work so that the conflicts involving jalousy, greed, honesty, loyalty, love arrive all insiduously. Isaac is convincing in the role of swindler and later of swindled by just changing a bit the face and the look. In this ambivalence of people the story is interesting. Dunst is as usual beautiful and not acting. She stands well. I hope she will do once a role more demanding.
