This film essentially begins with a Greek talent scout named "Aris Platonas" (Andreas Barkoulis) who operates his own theater productions and consistently loses money hand over fist. Then one day he notices a beautiful dancer named "Anna" (Maria Jose Contudo) who easily entices him with her flirtatious gestures while auditioning for him. One thing leads to another and they fall in love. The problem, however, is that Aris has an extremely wealthy wife named "Sara Platonas" (Claudia Gravy) with whom he depends upon to keep him financially solvent. Yet, although Sara accepts his occasional extra-marital affairs, she has no desire to see another woman take him from her. But on the same token, while Aris has no desire to stay married, he recognizes that he cannot continue on with his lifestyle without his wife's money. And eventually he sees a solution to his problem. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film had a decent plot for the most part but the inclusion of multiple scenes involving Anna dancing and singing gave the film an amateurish quality overall. Fortunately, there is a surprising twist at the end which partially makes up for the rather poor direction. Likewise, having a gorgeous actress like Maria Jose Contudo also helps to some degree as well. But having said that, I don't believe that either of these two attributes were quite sufficient in my view to rate the film any higher than I have. Slightly below average.
