"Arpa-colla" in Greek literally means "Grab and stick", a phrase used to show something that has been done quickly and therefore isn't good enough. This is what the 2 main heroes of the film are doing. The one is a director(Giorgos) and the other an author(Kostas) with communistic ideas, who has won a prize at a festival. They both want to make a movie for the cinema. But every idea they have never comes true, because every time they meet someone to whom they tell their idea, they change their mind, and they want to make a totally different movie, ideas varying from political cinema to Greek historical dramas and modern films with motorcycle gangs. Not a bad attempt for the Greek cinema of the early 80's, which starts to wake up from the hibernation of the 70's.

Eleni, Kyriakos and their four children live in a small house in Pagrati. Kyriakos works in the Municipality of Athens as a gardener. Eleni works as a cashier in a supermarket. She loves her husband and her children and faces daily difficulties with humor. When, however, she learns that Kyriakos is not only taking care of the plants, but also the body of a rich and fancy widow, Eleni turns from a sheep into a bull and decides to take revenge. And he takes it in various ways, moral and immoral, legitimate and unjust, comic and tragic.
