Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on a 1963 play by Christos Giannakopoulos that defined Greek domestic comedy, this adaptation relocates the class satire to contemporary Athens bougie apartments.
Lefteris Eleftheriou playing 'Lefterakis' is literally named after the character—the role was written for him after decades of him being called this by friends.
