Film description

On an August night, in an almost deserted Athens... A young man without a past or a future waits for something to happen in the heart of a big city. A beautiful girl at a telephone booth has a terrible argument with her boyfriend over the phone. An old friend, on the verge of an emotional breakdown, longs for his high school sweetheart and screams her name from his balcony. Two incorrigible middle-aged bachelors masterfully set up the "trap of the century" that will finally get them their girl. The owner of a coffee shop recites poetry. A couple's 11-year-old relationship is ludicrously challenged by the presence of a body-builder. An American challenges Mohammed Ali to a boxing match, as a tribute to the boxer whom he considers to be the ultimate dancer. Two mobsters trained in pressure tactics "annul" themselves through the comedy of an absurd defeat...

i There are no scheduled screenings.
