Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Struggling to eke out an existence in post-civil-war Athens, a destitute trio of audacious con men only lives for the moment. In and out of the local police station, the otherwise kind-hearted partners-in-crime will find themselves with their backs to the wall, when two of them have an unpleasant brush with the law. As if that weren't enough, a regrettable clandestine affair and an unscheduled pregnancy will further complicate matters. Can the three smart Athenian swindlers make things right again?
