Synopsis by Mark Deming

Death and betrayal follow two close friends during what was meant to be an idyllic long weekend in this drama from Greece. Haris (Ieroklis Mihailidis) is a successful engineer whose best friend is Andreas (Vangelis Mourikis), a well-to-do doctor. Both Haris and Andreas have young and attractive trophy wives, Marina (Maria Protopapa) and Lina (Lena Kitsopoulou), and for the Easter holiday the two couples head out to the Pelion Peninsula, where Andreas has a second home; Andreas's daughter Myrsini (Evi Daeli) joins them for the trip. One morning, the vacationers make a disturbing discovery when they find a dead body in their front yard, and they call the police. Themistoklis (Costas Xykominos), the officer assigned to the case, makes no secret of his resentment towards the wealthy out-of-towners, and begins investigating the affair only after being pressured by his superiors. While both couples insist they saw and heard nothing during the night, Myrsini stubbornly claims she saw two strange men outside the house early in the morning, and Themistoklis begins to wonder of Haris and Andreas know more than they're telling. Tensions increase in the house when Marina reveals that she's having a baby that may be the product of a brief fling with Andreas.
