The documentary reveals for the first time the enormous scandal that concerns illegal billboard advertising in Greece. It investigates the corruption, interests and large amounts of money at stake, but mainly it focuses on the human dimension of the problem, following the struggle for justice of a father whose son was killed by an illegal billboard. Illegal billboards are only one symptom of the broader problem of road safety in this country, which has evolved into a civil war involving mayors, politicians and advertising companies. As is mentioned in the film: “The victims of car accidents during the last 50 years in Greece have exceeded the number of dead from all the wars the country was involved in during the 20th century.”
