The "adventures" of some friends during their military service.

Yannis Papadopoulos, a soldier in the Greek Army and a father of two, is thrilled when he joins the newly established Armed Forces Television in Athens. At last, after months on the snowy Greek-Bulgarian border, Yannis is confident that he will finally be close to his wife and children. Instead, the talented cinematographer and his resourceful comrades are in for a rude awakening when a certain Georgios Papadopoulos enters the picture to lead a military coup d'état on 21 April 1967. Suddenly, things are looking bleak; a national tragedy has become the new reality. Can Yannis and his brothers-in-arms take advantage of the crisis and come out on top?—Nick Riganas

The film is the story of a group of soldiers, who, in the course of their compulsory military service in 1967 and 1968, before and during the military dictatorship in Greece, are assigned to the then recently founded Armed Forces Television. This TV station, founded for the civilian population, was run by the Cinematographic Unit of the army which until then had only produced propaganda films and newsreels and was responsible for entertaining the troops and other charity organizations with movie screenings. The personnel was composed mostly of soldiers, who already had experience in the film business in their civilian lives, as well as those who received their training in the army. The story may be only 95% true, but that is simply because the true story is even more absurd...—Greek Film Center
