Stamatis Jelepis

The feelings of a young lady for a Pontian Greek, whom his fellow countrymen call "the disgrace of Pontus", is obvious to everyone. Kostikas, however, doesn't notice her feelings because his mind is elsewhere. He is trying to become the president of the football team of New Pontus, in order to take the place of Giorikas, who happens to be in love with the lady in question.

Thanasis works in the café he inherited from his father and hopes that his children will manage to complete their studies. This desire is based on his own dream of becoming a judge, which never happened due to his father's objections.
