The film's central hero Aris lives in Athens with his agriculturist friend Thanos in an old house, which they have rented from Petros, Aris' teacher at the School of Journalism. The house comes alive mostly at night with discussions, anxieties, problems and romantic involvements of their friends. Until one day Thanos meets Stella, an actress who is a few years older than him. Her arrival in the house changes everything. A woman of strong character, she quickly makes her influence felt and events now follow rapidly. Aris, terrified, takes refuge in the past: in his village, which is also about to be destroyed, like Athens, like our planet.
