The story is about three friends on their way to their families on an island for holidays with some situations that they occur and they have to deal with. In general the movie has clever jokes which they imply the degradation of the modern greek.
I think that as a movie is timeless beacause everyone today is talking for exactly the same issues as in the movie like politics, football, woman, money, they act with the same ways and the jokes they make are 100% applicable to the today greek.
In overall is a great comedy and the acting and the script feel very natural.

FEW WORD ABOUT THIS MOVIE:
It's a movie with extremely clever script, extremely clever lines. It's a deep movie, sarcastic and funny! The 3 main actors are majestic, so very natural! The directing is not flawless, the production is not huge, but the truth is all there!
I strongly recommend it, since it is one of the best movies of the Greek cinema.
I would not recommend it for non Greeks, if you don't speak the language its very hard to get the meaning.

It is a part of Greek tradition for hundreds of years that political life should be played as a parody or satyric drama in theaters and movies.
From the pioneer of comedy Aristofanis to the latest and one of the greatest (in my opinion) ever lived Stavros Tsiolis, dramatic comedy writers know that in order to succeed they have to be modern, topical and timely.
In this movie through the short trip of these men and through their conversations Stavros Tsiolis presents us through a parody the political and everyday life in Greece through the 80's and the 90's.
This play is a comedy but the creator for the first time in he brings elements from a tragedy such as the part of chorus.
closing this small Review i would like to say that for me this Film is almost perfect i would watch it every day without getting even close to get bored to it. It is defiantly a straight 10 but many people from outside Greece could never understand 100% what the writer did here.
No offense but the most of the Greeks cannot understand the satyric humor and the irony that this film presents us.

A road movie, where all aspects of modern Greek (especially North Greek) common psyche are exposed. I consider it the best film ever made about modern Greek lifestyle, especially as far as men are concerned. It is not a comedy only. It is a drama, a surrealistic masterpiece and a documentary. Using humorous dialog, the actors, each representing different characters of Greek men, get exposed and become vulnerable. Their standards become fragmented and their weaknesses visible. The audience will love the characters. Acting, directing, script... Everything touches perfection. Difficult for non-Greeks to understand the meaning of this film, as this is hidden behind smart dialog that only insiders will recognize. A must see!
This Movie is unique in many ways but is mainly targeted towards Greek audience, and foreign audience will not be able to associate with it.
It portrays realistically the decadent society existing in Greece in 80s- 90s including: -Coffee and Smoking abuse -Song preferences (including subliminal battles between folk vs classical) -Political themes -exaggeration of behavior -Football fanaticism (Panathinaikos vs Olympiakos) -Regionalism (North vs South Greece)
Sometimes acting is horrible during the movie but this contributes to the cultness of the movie.
It is not easy to judge this movie without thinking of the consequences of these behavior in modern Greece, having that in mind this movie remains a Drama of major historical importance.
