With his beloved fiancée, Asimo, waiting for Kitsos to set a wedding date, the impecunious countryman visits his affluent uncle and self-made businessman, Periklis, in high hopes of landing a job in one of his twenty-one souvlaki joints. However, as if things weren't complicated enough, Kitsos sets his sights on helping Periklis' love-smitten daughter, Ritsa--and on top of that--Asimo decides to check in on him.
