| ::SYNOPSIS:: |
The film tells the story of the relationship between two friends who gradually discover that they have each kept secrets from the other and played dirty games behind each other’s back. Lakis, an insurance broker in a large company, has won a trip abroad as a «bonus» for his work. He misses his flight, however, and returns home to find his wife in bed with his best friend. Following his mother’s advice –«think for five minutes before you act»– he starts to wander around Athens, at the same time reliving all his relationships through a series of comic situations.
