Βίος (Vios) is Greek for life in general or a person's life in particular.
Πολιτεία (Politia) means the state and the citizen's relation to it, that is both 'constitution" and “public behaviour”. The expression "Vios ke Politia" (life and state) describes an adventurous person who has had his ups and downs and is still living dangerously.
One fine morning on the day of the World Cup Final in which the Greek national team is to play, Karamanos, an employee of the Greek Telecommunications Organisation connects the personal computer of the head of the organization to a satanic complex explosive device. He threatens to blow up the building unless he is allowed to appear on television ten minutes before the soccer match is broadcast in order to denounce everything awry in Greek life which engulfs the Greek citizen and makes him a "victim" of the state.
In their efforts to foil his plans, the authorities round up all his old army buddies looking for incriminating evidence that they too were members of the terrorist organization C.S. (Constitutional Struggle) a member of which Karamanos professes to be. Through a series of comical events, everything comes under satirical fire, state organizations, television, the police, the reactions of the citizens... revealing the current social crisis and the clash of ideologies. |
