SUMMARY
Life is carefree for the hero of the movie, who wanders around the streets of Athens in the summer, embraced with his girlfriend. A phone call from his best friend leads him to a new reality.
The undertaker wants his client. The unfortunate piece of news makes his day. The nightmare unsettles him. Çe seeks a meaning. The city is watching, its faces different, special? A man he knows, helps him clear out his thoughts; he realizes how much in love he is and forgets the images that tears and pain have caused him.
The couple finds its rhythm again. The friends play backgammon. The walker, the merchant, the grandmother, the friend, the dancer, the mother, the lawyer, the lover and death make up the story.
