The love story of two men, Simos and Musa, who probably met one night in an elusive, secretly erotic place. We follow them closely, during their first intimate moments. As their relationship evolves and they are living together, Musa strives to fit within unfamiliar circumstances, while Simos tries to control his possessiveness and enduring fear of losing his lover. Whenever his rationalization proves insufficient as a instrument for handling his crises, Simos opens the door that separates fantasy from reality and channels his fears into his dreams, which sooner or later become haunting nightmares.

Revenge is a recurrent theme in thrillers, usually dispensed by action heroes with a well-stocked arsenal. But in Yorgos Tsemberopoulos’s nuanced moral maze the protagonist is the bookish Kostas (Manolis Mavromatakis), a suburban florist well versed in social and political theory, which he discusses at length with a local publican. But when his home is invaded by masked hoodlums, who bind his family and rape his teenage daughter, our everyman hero finds his intellectual stance untenable. Encouraged by his paranoid, militarist neighbour, Kostas decides to take the law into his own hands, and in doing so begins to understand – for the first time – the world he has been living in. The vigilante movie is a well-explored genre too, but Tsemberopoulos gives it a whole new urgency, subverting the cliched right-wing fantasy structure and seeing it through the eyes of a man who comes to find his real self while trying to live up to the (imagined) expectations of others.
