Synopsis:

Fleeing political turmoil in Greece, Ilias (Aris Retsos) travels to Paris and seeks out Gerasimos (Hristos Tsagas), a homesick relative working there as a furrier. Ilias carries with him the photograph of a singer whom he presents as his sister, thus causing a series of misunderstandings that leads each man into a tangled web of deception and delusion that lays bare their complex relationships to their homeland. An allegory in the form of a modern-day tragedy of the "misunderstandings" and deceits of modern Greek history, as seen through the eyes of a Greek of the Diaspora.

The Criterion Collection:

Nico Papatakis brilliantly dissects the soul of modern Greece in this darkly comic, cuttingly perceptive exile’s tale.
