Athens, today, now. A man’s house, his most intimate space, hosts, as a refuge of the urban bachelor myth, the expressions and aspects of his character, and reveals the ways and means of escape from his everyday life. 

The audience becomes a spectator of an intermediate space where the personal becomes public, bringing the man to the forefront, standing against the world, but more importantly against himself.
