The uncompromising, honest, and unemployed journalist Dimos Perpataris, a specialist in ancient Greek sayings, would rather starve than betray his principles. But his encounter with the “Receptionists” — a carefree squad with no moral boundaries who sneak into various events to eat for free — changes everything…
True to his people-centric cinema and dramatic comedy, and inspired by the tragicomic aspect of real life — and the novel of the same name — Filippos Tsitos returns to ask: “How much dignity are you willing to sacrifice for survival?”
With his regular leading actor Antonis Kafetzopoulos once again at the lead role, and armed with humor, the filmmaker fires bursts of sensitive, melancholic, and incisive commentary on a world that is collapsing and even giving up on its moral integrity to make ends meet.
