A NEIGHBORHOOD NAMED “THE DREAM”

The poor Athenian neighborhood of Asyrmatos is the center of the world for the people who live there and who are trying to escape from poverty and deprivation. Rikos, a young man recently released from prison, is trying to make some money, while his girlfriend is seeing other men, and her brother is trying to contribute to the household’s finances. Rikos comes up with an idea for a job, but he will spend the money they make. One of his “partners” commits suicide. Rikos, his girlfriend and her brother, defeated and disappointed that their expectations were never realized, are forced to come to terms with reality.
