What Peppermint Is About

An engineer receives an invitation from an old friend and starts looking back at his childhood, with the taste of a first kiss still in his mouth. The film reaches back thirty years to that innocent moment and to the Greece of those days. Chance eventually brings two people who lost each other back together. Costas Kapakas's 1999 film treats a provincial childhood warmly and with humour: sweets, the radio, neighbours, and the misunderstandings children have about the adult world. It is one of the Greek films that handles nostalgia without cheapening it, and its attention to period detail sets it apart.
