In this humanistic comedy, set against the backdrop of economic crises and bad news, an extravagant international cast of characters meet, fight, and fall in love, while hiding from the end of the world and other calamities on the tiny Greek island of Khronos. Each one of them discovers something or someone that gives new meaning to their lives, helped in no small part by the food they share, especially the Mediterranean pastry Bourek.
Burek feels like a throw-back to old times, when movies were simpler. A nice, entertaining feel-good film with fantastic scenery and a beautiful score. But also, underneath the simple plot perhaps lies a deeper message, if you care to look for it. My favorite line "There are no strangers here, only friends you haven't met yet." The film is a Mediterranean delight, just like Burek!
