A Greek shopkeeper discovers something about his family's past when his mother embraces an Albanian worker.

Set in the world of Greece's urban-folk music scene of the 90s, the film depicts the fatal relationship between a young singer and an elder songwriter and her mentor.

Threatened by his debtors, rocked by a broken heart and driven by greed, a charming gambler arrives at a middle-of-nowhere tavern in search of a case of gold. Instead, he attracts the attentions of the grumpy tavern owner's unhappy wife, whose affection complicates his plan and perpetuates his spell of misfortune.
