Plot

Successful thanks to the monthly cheques of his young wife's uncle, a parsimonious contractor will find himself in a fine mess when an affluent and suave suitor is bent on marrying his spouse. But, to keep her, is he capable of change?

Antonis is married for four years with Eleni, and despite they are rich they live in a ruined house. Antonis who is very focused on how to make more money and nothing else, in the beginning of their marriage made his wife to write at her rich uncle in the USA, that she was widowed, so that her uncle continued sending her 200$ checks every month. One day Eleni's uncle comes in Greece but he also is accompanied by a man who likes Eleni and wants to marry her. So the problems for Antonis start when he has to pretend that he is only some random guy that rents a room in Eleni's house and nothing more.—a_lektor

Eleni Tsiliviki has been financially supported for years from her wealthy American uncle, who sends her monthly checks. Her stingy husband Antonis has insisted on never informing the uncle concerning their marriage, so that the financial support can continue indefinitely. Following several years of marriage, Antonis systematically neglects his wife and does not repair their run-down house. The uncle eventually comes for a visit. Since he is convinced that his niece is still single, he has brought a wealthy suitor for her. Antonis will have to both hide his real identity from the deceived uncle, and to convince his fed-up wife to give him another chance.—Dimos I
