His life will turn upside down when his younger sister turns out to be an anarchist and gets involved with a leftist rebellious man he already knows and hates.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its comedy on a sharp social contrast, relying on absurd situations to explore Greek reality of the late 60s. It skillfully stages grotesque clashes between a conservative everyman and young rebels whose ideals crumble under the weight of newfound wealth.
What lingers after the credits is a sharp satire where ironic fate drives the plot, and the protagonist's final breakdown feels like a fitting end to a universal chase for fortune. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Giannis Dalianidis
