Andreas Savvidis is a writer who uses the people around him as material for his books. Beyond his actual experiences, he also makes up imaginary people and events to further the plot of his novel in progress, for which he is ready to sacrifice both his personal life and happiness. A number of individuals will play an important role in his life and the novel: an attractive nurse bitter about men, a mailman who pokes his nose everywhere, his younger gay brother, an older friend, and his sick mother. As director Fotini Siskopoulou’s first feature, the film demonstrates her sound knowledge of film language and creates a closed, stifling, and erotic atmosphere, in which her writer-hero navigates.
