As Georgios Vizneyos, one of Greece's greatest authors, degenerates in an Athens mental asylum, the tale of another story-teller, his grandfather, begins to emerge through his mad ramblings. This lavish film recreates (through his own words) the writer's childhood life, rich with fantasy and legend. Apprenticed to a tailor, young Georgios' mind is filled with his grandfather fairy tales. He ponders the hill from which one can climb into the sky and waits each day for the chance to bring clothes to the princess and win her heart through song. But, just as reality begins to germinate doubt in his mind, Georgios is called home to his ailing grandfather, who will reveal one final, true story that may prove to be the most fantastic of all.

During its 85-minute running time, this jarring experimental film takes a no-holds-barred look at the way women have been treated and depicted in Western art.
Дневник последних дней жизни четвёрки молодых людей, маргиналов, ведущих «аморальный образ жизни», предпочёвших эффектную смерть блёклому существованию. Как и «Сингапурский Слинг» Николаидиса, этот фильм отличают изысканные декорации, запоминающийся музыкальный ряд и виртуозная операторская работа, и хотя здесь вы не обнаружите столь же будоражащих взор и желудок эпизодов, но безусловно узнаете и оцените характерную для режиссёра манеру воспевания криминального шарма, провокативную поэзию китча и сладость музыки смерти.
Melina Mercouri plays Maya, a jet-setting Greek actress who returns to her homeland to undertake the role of Medea. Searching for inspiration and clues as to how a mother could kill the children she loves, Maya discovers Brenda (Ellen Burstyn), a bible-spouting American woman serving time in an Athens prison for that very crime.
