This Monday, December 30, the Greek streaming platform Cinobo invites you to Mitropoleos Square for an outdoor screening of the ultimate Christmas movie: Love Actually.
Written and directed by Richard Curtis, one of Britain’s most successful comedy screenwriters, this British Christmas romantic comedy has become a beloved classic.

Set against the backdrop of a bustling Christmassy London, Love Actually explores a tapestry of intertwined love stories:

A devoted wife wrestles with heartbreak as she discovers her husband’s infidelity.

They all experience the trials and triumphs of love—losing it, risking it, sharing it, and growing through it.
The screening —part of the City of Athens’ Christmas Activities and presented in collaboration with Cinobo—offers free entry and invites everyone to enjoy with their loved ones. The screening begins at 7pm. right in the heart of Athens’.
