Kleanthis is working two jobs, and saddled with debts. His boss hates him, his mother-in-law despises him. His life is going nowhere - at least till he's clearing out a room in the antiquities department where he works, and finds a magic mirror with a friendly genie that can make wishes come true. Kleanthis uses the mirror to change his life and get what he wants - but, even though his wishes are granted, something always seems to go wrong.
Lakis Lazopoulos climbs on the roof following the course of the breakdown of the average Greek. A house is sinking, the river has overflowed, no one will stay. The river carries them all away. On the roof, Lakis Lazopoulos, as a modern Odysseus, sinks like our life sinks today. The past begins to knock on the door and asks to take a stand. The history of the modern Greek from 1960 until today, the dissolution of us, the rise of the ego, the descent of emotions, the transition to corruption, the ridicule of the Greek in history. Chryssa Ropa, as a modern Penelope, tries to keep the house, the child, the life that is lost. But love and affection are crushed in the years of infidelity and greed.
