A Madhouse Named "Hellas"

1988 · 1h 38m · Comedy

Thanasis lives in today's conditions, where Greece is a madhouse. A police sergeant after many years of impeccable service, he anxiously awaits his long-awaited promotion. At the new police station where he has been assigned, somewhere in the center of Athens, he faces incidents of daily madness, lawlessness, and corruption, while also dealing with his own personal anxieties about his unfortunate family, especially his son, who is an anarchist. There is no shortage of conflict between them, as each tries to impose his ideas and beliefs on the other. But who are the people behind the illegal networks, and how can Thanasis find a way out of his predicament?
