Dimitra Sakali

A series of murders alarm the police authorities, as strange symbolisms are traced to every crime scene. The eccentric professor of criminology Dimitris Lainis is asked to shed some light on the mystery.

The series is based on real events. It takes us to Kythera from 1906 to 1909 and chronicles one of the largest mass murders the country has ever known. There, we meet the central figure of the story, Antonis, a peaceful shoemaker. A lovable young man, until he is unjustly slandered. The outcry of the local community forces him to leave. He makes a new start in Piraeus. Again, however, his attempt to escape falls on deaf ears. History repeats itself in the big city, filling Antonis with bitterness and anger. Now, there is only one way left for him: Revenge.

Eleni, Kyriakos and their four children live in a small house in Pagrati. Kyriakos works in the Municipality of Athens as a gardener. Eleni works as a cashier in a supermarket. She loves her husband and her children and faces daily difficulties with humor. When, however, she learns that Kyriakos is not only taking care of the plants, but also the body of a rich and fancy widow, Eleni turns from a sheep into a bull and decides to take revenge. And he takes it in various ways, moral and immoral, legitimate and unjust, comic and tragic.

After Elizabeth and Nikiforos lose their beloved family—Achilles, Natalia, and little Elizabeth—to a permanent move to the United States, Nikiforos’ desperate attempt to stop them lands him under six months of house arrest. Frustrated by their wives’ restrictions and their own mid-life crises—Mimi’s heart condition, Pavlos and Maria’s new parenthood, and Eirini’s turn to monasticism—the trio of men make up a plan: they take over their favorite tavern, hold their (ex-)wives hostage, and throw one epic, liberating feast.
