Changes of fortune abound and finally the plot reveals that the lying provincial is not a bad person in heart although he never denounces lying as a survival strategy.

The protagonist is "Mrs. Epitheoresis" herself, who returns to the stage to travel her great-grandson back in time, to her most important moments. On the stage parade the legendary protagonists, the inimitable lines, the great voices, the immortal songs, the glittering theaters of the golden age of the epitheoresis. And up close, current events, political and social changes, urbanization, the fate of Greece - always with humor and a satirical mood.
