The Story:
In the lush embrace of Greece’s fertile valley, a prosperous patriarch (portrayed by [actor not specified]) retreats to a sprawling country estate with his three indolent sons—Sakis (George Dialegmenos), Nikos (Dimitris Poulikakos), and another (Nikitas Tsakiroglou)—accompanied by their devoted maid Sofia (Olga Karlatos), seeking a life of unbridled leisure after inheriting a vast fortune.
As days blur into an endless haze, the family plunges into utter sloth, forsaking conversation, meals, and even the simplest motions; they shun the world beyond their gates, severing ties with lovers and turning away a pleading artist, while Sofia toils silently amid their growing torpor, her pleas for vitality falling on deaf, slumbering ears.
Yet whispers of escape stir in the youngest son’s heart, only to crumble in exhaustion’s iron grip—first melting into Sofia’s arms, then collapsing mid-stride into dreamless sleep—inviting audiences to this absurd, hypnotic descent where idleness devours the soul in a vintage tapestry of bourgeois folly and surreal surrender.
