Two years after the establishment of the junta of the colonels, a resistance fighter leaves for Sweden. After 14 years of exile, the return to Greece is painful. His girlfriend has been married, while his friends have completely changed.

In a neighborhood of Athens lives a slightly eccentric kiosk owner, Manolios, who is searching for the man responsible for his father's death. His clientele consists mainly of the residents of the neighboring apartment building. It is a microcosm with its own problems and gossip: the grumpy owner of the apartment building, his son, the scatterbrained concierge, a young student, and a few others. Inevitably, minor conflicts arise among them and various emotions develop, such as Manolis' love for the student, who, however, clearly desires the son of the apartment building's owner.
