In a decrepit but fragrant Athenian courtyard of a humble mid-1960s courtyard house, an entire social microcosm lies hidden in plain sight.

In the end, love and hate; desire and passion; candour and deceit are all vital components of this little machine in the neighbourhood's bosom; nevertheless, is dreaming for everyone?
