Against the backdrop of Athens' bustling streets, a Greek white-collar worker starts his day off by doing various errands, and even though he hasn't worked all day, in reality, he is exhausted. Is this what his typical day off looks like?

Against the backdrop of Athens' bustling streets, the story pivots around Drakakos, an ordinary Greek white-collar worker, and his urban ordeals during his exhausting day-off. However, even though he should be resting, the clerk will need to find the time to repair his car; do various errands; attempt to send a parcel to England; arrange a pending job in the health service, and on top of that, pay a visit to his relatives--and, of course--his mistress. And, if this isn't enough, his long and eventful day of rest will end with a formal professional dinner. Is this what Drakakos' typical day off from work looks like?—Nick Riganas
