A comedic marital farce set in 1960s Athens that satirizes gender dynamics and the transformative (and destabilizing) power of marriage vows.

When a man decides to marry the woman he's been living with, she stops being the silent patient person she was and claims to be the boss in the house. Her behaviour changes so much after the marriage that the husband gets so irritated as to ask for a divorce even a few hours later..
