ALTHEA

Dramatic idea

In a small, fictional, gorgeous Island forgotten by people, somewhere in the Aegean, Althaea lives a little knit society. Not more than 200 people. They have everything but tourism. In this little paradise appears an American film crew for the filming of a movie. Our community gets upset with the arrival of foreigners. As a welcoming place that is, the top heads of the island, find accommodations for visitors, at the houses of inhabitants, since there are no hotels.

The Mayor of Althea, John Rokakis, organizes an authentic traditional island feast in honor of the guests.

Various erotic entanglements occur between locals and foreigners, at all ages. At the top, Nikolas, a forty years old local fisherman, with the thirty years old producer Bobbi (formerly known as an actor), as well as his little brother Meleagros, 20 years old, with the ambitious and promising starlet Elisa, a young girl, just turned 18. Also, the veteran actor John Markus, with the, more than 30 years old, dumb cousin of Nicolas, Argyro. Finally, the "intellectual" film director David "carried away" by the restless, head of the local amateur theatrical group, Erofili.

The inhabitants of Althea, unaccustomed by the presence of the Americans, are upset, but also many of the Americans, profoundly affected by the unknown to them, but so real and remote from the Western culture, lifestyle in the island. Thus, the winged son of Venus, easily and effectively makes the job that has entrusted his mother: to do them all, upside down. In the beginning emotionally. Soon, however, this mess is extending to all sectors.

The big overturn, occurs when this small society discovers that, the film which the Americans turn, is a porno! In fact, co-producer is the Greek-American Tom, son of the newly repatriated, Mayor of Althea, John Rokakis.

The bomb that exploded brings everything upside down, both for the inhabitants and for the Americans, as on this occasion many bad things were revealed, that were considered as "good". At the end, nothing is anymore as it was before. Everything has changed.
