A dead PM in a machine, politicians scrambling to change absolutely nothing. Balkan chaos at its finest.
The crazy farce about entanglement and dark political backroom dealings "PUT THE MINISTER IN THE SOCKET." However, the very variation on the title also expresses the spirit of this new comedy. Around the machine that keeps the prime minister of the country dead and alive unfolds a farce of dealings and entanglements with only one goal: To change nothing. The political backstage strikes, always for its own benefit, all kinds of scenarios aimed at not changing anything in the country. A comedy about a world that makes sure - in a sometimes criminal way - to keep up the pretense and do nothing at a time when finally some people have to plug in to do something.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Papathanasiou and Reppas are Greek comedy royalty, famous for satirizing exactly this post-2008 political inertia. The 'socket' became instant slang for useless politicians.
The film's zero TMDB rating reflects its near-total obscurity outside Greece, not quality—it's a cult phenomenon domestically.
