Afterwards he apologises and they start a relationship. She gets fired from the super market where she works for helping Panos steal. Panos cannot live in misery anymore and steals a yoghurt factory with the help of his friends. The ending is tragic...

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Greece's 1980s 'videotape cinema' boom—cheap, fast, morally chaotic films made for the emerging VHS market. Dalianidis was a mainstream hitmaker slumming it in exploitation territory.
The yoghurt factory heist remains infamous in Greek film history—possibly the only cinematic robbery where the loot spoils if you don't move fast enough.
