Four women, from different worlds, reunite after years of silence to fulfill the promise they made in childhood: to take revenge on Gerasimos Mantas, the young director who abused them at the orphanage where they grew up. However, things do not turn out as they had planned. Instead of a well-organized plan of revenge, the situation spirals out of their control, with the women becoming entangled in tragicomic situations filled with failed attempts and unpredictable events. With a dark yet comedic perspective, the film touches on deep human trauma, while the heroines’ quest for revenge becomes the focal point of a black comedy.

A cunning storyteller presents a curious tale of blackmail to two friends invited to lunch. As the story unwinds we realise that the blackmail plot is merely a cover-up for a far more sinister plot involving revenge and murder. This fast-paced, ironic black comedy provides the spectator with a challenging puzzle of events whose meaning always lies just beyond the frameline.
