By the late 1980s, Greek cinema is on its last legs. Very few films are being made and are shown in front of empty seats. In the filmmakers' circle, they are looking for those responsible everywhere. Among the "black sheep" is Dimitris Efthymiou, a once-draconian pen critic. According to the relevant rumor, Efthymiou has a deadly hatred for local directors. The truth is that he now neither hates nor adores anyone. He is unbearably bored with his work and would gladly swap with anyone willing to go to Thessaloniki in his place to cover the Festival, as he does every year. However, this year's event holds unexpected thrills for him. Behind his back and around a young actress, a romantic carousel is set up, where desire often gives way to intrigue, vanity, and danger. Efthymiou, unknowingly, will serve the plans of others, and when he wants to disengage, he will find that it is too late. He is already in the eye of the storm.
