Crying Silicon Tears (Orig. To klama vgike ap' ton paradiso) is a 2001 Greek language film, directed by Thanasis Papathanasiou and Michalis Reppas.

Plot

The movie is divided into three clear timelines, the 1960s, the World War II period and the bucolic period (in order from newest to oldest). In the 1960s, the rich Della Franca family start a fight with the poor Bisbikis family over a man that romances with women from both families. The Della Franca's manage to put the mother of the Bisbikis', Lavrentia, out of business, which triggers the World War II flashback, where Lavrentia worked with the Greek Resistance. In that period, another event triggers the bucolic period in the form of Lavrentia talking about her ancestors, a man and a woman that lived in a small village in the countryside. No clear main plot existent in any period, the film mainly revolves around Lavrentia's history and the tragic events that stained her life. In the end of the film, it is revealed that the Bisbikis' are actually blood-related to the Della Franca's and they all live happily ever after.

Although the film features mostly tragic events, they are presented in a way that parodies older movies of the Greek cinema, rendering them hilarious. It is both a tribute and a satire of old Greek dramas, war movies and bucolic-style films.
