AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The comedy written by Dimitris Psathas and directed by Stavros Economidis follows the story of Timoleon, who finds himself fired from every job he’s had for being too honest.

'He then comes across a lost wallet and returns it to its owner, Solonas. As it turns out, Solonas is a retired General and employs Timoleon as a bookkeeper as an act of goodwill.

'As it turns out Timoleon uncovers a web of fraud and misuse of public money, put together by Andonis, the brother of the General’s wife (Lia).

'The honest man is desperate to get the word out, barging drunk into the General’s bedroom in the thick of night to share the truth, but instead finds his demise and being labelled as a crazy swindler.' (Production summary)
