A cult film for all Moustakas fans

A lighthearted comedy filled with irreverent politically incorrect puns, characteristic of the early 80s. Sotiris Moustakas shines with his extrovert slapstick humor and makes a great match with the great Mimis Fotopoulos. Although it makes for a much thinner plot line, the film also jabs at the matchmaking scene through offices which arranged marriages (not dates) as Greece was not too quick in abandoning its neotraditional past. Moustakas also draws a direct line with the comedy of Ancient Greece, dressing up as a woman that garners respect and even erotic love. Sperantza Vrana adds spice and brio. Nikos Rizos appears in a cameo.
