Athens, February 25, 1973. During the turbulent years of the Greek Junta, two brothers--Nikos, a former convict, and his younger brother, Dimos--along with a friend and their women decide to have a night out at a noisy honky-tonk joint. Amid decayed divas, acrid cigarette smoke, and plain-clothes police officers, the siblings will soon find themselves in a very tight spot, as a cynical provocation fuelled by a towering machismo will lead, inevitably, to a downward spiral of blind violence. And in the grotesque shadows, a gleaming switch-blade demands massacre.
