About

A violinist, Lefteris, is constantly running around on account of his work - from the Symphonic Orchestra to the Church. One Sunday, an incident caused by the competition between two churches sends him to prison, where he tells the story of his life to a fellow-prisoner. He has had an eventful life, rich in both marriage and divorce.
