Description
In the summer of 1976, young Greek musician Calista encounters legendary filmmaker Billy Wilder and is drawn into the glamorous, demanding world of international cinema. As she works alongside Wilder during the making of his final films, she witnesses the tensions, triumphs, and eccentricities behind the screen—and forms an unexpected connection with the aging director. Moving between Greece, Europe, and Hollywood, this warm, witty novel explores artistic ambition, cultural change, memory, and the fleeting nature of fame. With affectionate insight and elegant humor, it offers both a coming-of-age story and a vivid portrait of a vanished era of filmmaking.
