Based on the allegory of sleep, the film depicts the idle lives of three young sons and their wealthy father, who have inherited a luxurious villa in an Athenian suburb. Unburdened by the need to work,They seem resigned to their lot and even the younger son’s  efforts to escape with the help of the sensual maid are frustrated. Like Angelopoulos in The Hunters (1997), Panagiotopoulos in this film focused on exploring the world of Greek bourgeois life. Avoiding concrete historical references, it can be said to offer a meditation on the melancholy that overtook the bourgeoisie after the first euphoric years after the fall of the dictatorship.
