Driven by a vain desire to make a name for himself and rise above the cruel limitations of his social class, instead, an idealist civil engineer finds himself on the verge of utter defeat. But, what would happen if he believed in himself?

A newlywed man who has just completed his national service, Alekos Stathakis, is trying to get over his class' misery, but doesn't have the necessary "equipment". He conceives an ambitious plan and submits it to a great concrete factory. He seems to believe that success is just around the corner and shares his illusion with his wife and his father. When his plan is rejected by the company, he keeps it to himself, making things even worse.—Greek Film Archive

Driven by a vain desire to make a name for himself and rise above the cruel limitations of his social class, the ambitious and overzealous but untried civil engineer, Alekos Stathakis, embarks on a bold journey to conquer the world. Freshly released from the Greek Army, the young pipe-dreamer can't wait to spread his wings and dazzle the business world with his innovative ideas; alas, much to his surprise, he proves inadequate, always falling short of everyone's expectations. Then, on the verge of failure and utter defeat, Alekos finds refuge in a sweet but dangerous fabrication, choosing to keep the harsh truth from his supportive wife, Christina, and his weary father, Ioannis. Now, there's no other way but down; however, what would happen if the once-enthusiastic idealist believed in himself?—Nick Riganas
