Plot

On a lazy Athenian Sunday, a young and fresh saleswoman loses her soon-to-be winning lottery ticket, only to meet its handsome new owner. Of course, she wants it back; however, what if fortune and ardent Cupid are already on her doorstep?

Sinekatalog’s take

A sunny Athenian comedy about a lost lottery ticket and a sparky chase after it. Light, romantic and good-natured. An enjoyable find for fans of classic Greek cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
