Eliza Stamatiou lives with her mother, Margarita, and her younger brother, Giorgos, somewhere in Brahami. Their financial situation is very good and everyone at home has relative freedom of movement. Eliza works for a large insurance company, but her "secret" desire is to work in cinema, regardless of her specialty. In the boredom of everyday life and a rather indifferent life, Eliza juxtaposes her imagination, which has been fueled by endless hours in movie theaters or in front of the video. Her generally unsuccessful attempts to transfer elements and situations from movies and their corresponding heroines to her daily life, provoke laughter and emotion.
