An elderly man is transporting a coffin, feeling alienated from his future as well as from his past, which he sees as a burden of tender memories. He is now playing his last card. A young taxi driver who becomes involved in the game, with daring recklessness manages to rejuvenate the old man's past, but nothing more. In a village, the two men meet a crazy whore, Karkalou, whom one of the two men once loved and whom the other will love now. The game is up, as is the old man's present. He is nothing but a dead-man-to-be carrying his own coffin.—Greek Film Archive

Against the backdrop of the monotonous clicking sound of a mechanical taximeter, an enigmatic, world-weary man ponders on bygone times in the back seat of a taxi. While carrying his wooden coffin in the boot, more and more, the passenger lures the unsuspecting cab driver into a strange game as he embarks on a one-way trip to the unknown. But, throughout the life journey of the weary man, one woman seems to haunt his very existence: Karkalou, a lover, a companion, a prostitute.—Nick Riganas
