Fotini Peluso in first two episodes of The Great Chimera

Six-part Greek/Italian mini-series. The first two parts aired yesterday.

1928. Eager to flee her scarring family past in Trieste, the beautiful Marina falls in love with Greek sea captain Yannis. She follows him to the sun-blazed island of Syros to begin a new married life in the home of her distrustful mother-in-law. As Marina aspires to find freedom and a sensory heaven worthy of her obsession with classical Greek culture, Yannis strives to build a shipping empire with her financial support. Marina enjoys her new life, but she is soon charmed by his younger brother Minas, a brilliant Athens-based law student. But when disaster upends Yannis’ business and forces him back on the seas, the gods and monsters of Greece show their wrath. Isolated and with a child, Marina succumbs to her desire, her world sliding into a vortex of love, passion, and death. As she still struggles to define herself, this tumultuous love triangle will lead to dire consequences worthy of her most beloved ancient Greek tragedies.

It appears that the source novel is considered a modern masterpiece.

There’s lots of passion in the story, but the nudity is just so-so.

By the way, although Fotini looks good in this, Valentina Cervi looks incredible. She’s in her 50s, so I don’t know whether she’ll do any nudity in future episodes, or even whether she would look good naked at her age, but that is one beautiful woman! Talk about a MILF!
