Lambros Konstantaras plays a rich idler who spends his days gossiping and joking, never having held a job. When a sudden reversal leaves him penniless on the street, he must confront life’s harsh realities and seek work. He later learns his wealth was never truly lost—his late father staged the disappearance as a lesson to teach him the value of work.
