The most explosive debut in Greek cinema of the 21st century, the "tragic comedy of the lives of the dead moving on" according to Economides himself, a unique deconstruction of the middle-class Greek family that begins with a broken air conditioner.
Synopsis
One day, in the middle of a heatwave, the house of Dimitris, a small family man in his 50s, somewhere in Korydallos, turns into a battlefield! All the family members take it out on each other with incredible verbal violence and revelations of passions, jealousies and professional disagreements. Until an unexpected confession blows everything to smithereens.
