The boyband One comes from Cyprus. They were formed in 1999 by the famous composer Georges Theofanous who writes all the music & lyrics for the song. In july of that year they released their first single & their first album came in october. At the end of 2001, Cypriot television asked them to be their participant in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002. They said yes & Georges Theofanous wrote the song Gimme especially for the occasion. After they reached a 6th place they became really famous in both Cyprus & Greece. One consisted of Constantinos Christophorou, Demetres Koutsavlakis, Philippos Constantinos, Argyris Nastopoulos & Panos Tserpes. In 2003 Constantinos Christophorou left the group.

Two is an episode of the television series The Twilight Zone. Elizabeth Montgomery A male & female survivor from opposite armies of a war meet in a deserted, war-ravaged town. Immediately, they begin to fight each other but the male wants to put an end to it. After a period of adjustment, they learn to trust each other & eventually walk away from the town together. Almost certainly the apolyptic war that precedes the events of this episode was between the United States & the Soviet Union. The only word spoken by Montgomerys character is precrassny, Russian for pretty. love & peace. Similar themes are explored in Judgment Night, The Purple Testament & A Quality of Mercy.

Although this comic story of a wife's suspicions about her husband's fidelity is probably the weakest of the three, the idea behind Trilogy - three overlapping stories occurring simultaneously involving the same characters - makes the whole a unique & brilliant experiment that is much much greater than the sum of its parts.

In each film scenes are revisited but seen from another point of view. So what seems comic in this second film of the trilogy - a surprise birthday party for the husband, is the social background scene of a thriller in the first, & a psychological minefield for a detective & his wife in the third. The point being made throughout is that we never really know what is going on in other peoples lives & minds even if we have been friends or have been married to them for over 20 years.
