Five emotionally deprived, sexually underrated wives and a widow discover that the only things they have in common are their perms, their card games and the shady business interests of their husbands who are more or less influential citizens of the country town in which they live. This motley female company transfers its card-playing activities from the inner sanctum of a girl friend's hair salon to the two-room apartment (given to her as a dowry) of their well-heeled "close friend" and the start of the group's amorous activities is now only a matter of time and coordination. When a sinister ex-cop and private eye fails to blackmail the most upstanding of the duped husbands and takes his revenge by threatening to expose via the net (www.romba-com.gr) not only his wife but, by extension, the entire small, closed community, the consequences are fatal and disastrous. During the 75th anniversary celebrations of the local paper THE LIBERAL a make-shift television transmitter broadcasts a video in which the desperate and self-destructive detective has scholastically taped the erotic and other aberrations of these pillars of bourgeois morality. |
