Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A philandering art history teacher diagnosed with terminal leukemia is surprised to discover that the multiple women in his life have an unexpectedly blasé response to his various infidelities in writer/director Nikos Panayotopoulos' upbeat musical. Andreas (Spyros Papadopoulos) is a middle-aged art professor who may be married to pretty wife Anna (Maria Nafpliotou), but divides most of his time between steamy student Lia (Vicky Papadopoulou) and smoldering mistress Camille (Maria Solomou). Upon receiving his grim diagnosis, Andreas determines to come clean to his endlessly devoted and faithful spouse. Though well aware of Camille, Anna reacts with some amount of shock to hearing about the much younger Lia. Nevertheless, the three women eventually find it within themselves to put aside their differences ensure that Andreas' final weeks alive are filled with not bitter resentment, but love, laughter, and kind companionship.
