Während die Inselbewohner den ungeliebten Besucher zu täuschen, schikanieren und abzulenken versuchen, entdeckt der steife Bürokrat mithilfe des lebenslustigen Supermarktbesitzers Panos die Segnungen von Alkohol, Entspanntheit und Freundschaft. Und dank der Witwe Eleni sogar die Liebe.
Komödie über kollidierende Mentalitäten, Lebensmodelle und einen deutschen Bankbürokraten, der die Kreditvergabe an eine griechische Insel vor Ort überprüfen soll.
The life of Jorg Geissner, a German banker, totally transforms with a visit to Paladiki Island, Greece. A business trip to check on a project called “Galapagos in Greece” by the islanders and for which his bank extended a loan and credit, brought him there. Being a German, he wants to investigate thoroughly, but Panos, a mini-mart owner, and the mayor try their utmost to sabotage him—to camouflage a not-so-good reality. After every single trial resulted in nothing because of the islanders’ secret meddling, Jorg’s trip becomes elongated, like The Odyssey’s, forcing him to contemplate the priorities and responsibilities in life again.
