Plot
What separates a quiet and happy life from disaster? Not much, says Nikos Zervos in his new film that pokes fun at the neo-Greek way of life where hysterical situations are commonplace. Psychiatrist Constantine Sebecos has it all. A booming practice, a doting family, adoring patients, good friends and an ideal relationship with a beautiful and high-powered businesswoman. Until the night when he is giving a lecture on his new book. Suddenly he is bombarded by a series of events that turn his life upside down. His brother Alexander, an aspiring young film director attempts suicide because his girl friend persists in fooling around with other men. His elderly mother decides to embark on a new life as a twenty year-old while his father loses his hearing and later his speech from the shock. Some of his patients go crazy in his office, his sister in-law, whose marriage is going through a crisis, makes a pass at him, while his secretary, a former patient who is secretly in love with him sets fire to his girlfriend's house in a fit of jealousy and hatred. The imperturbable Constantine faces it all with great composure until the moment where in a scene of final reckoning it all proves too much for even his phlegmatic nature and he is forced to abandon the beliefs of a lifetime and throw himself into the battle for survival.
