Greek farmers try to sell oranges, accidentally discover democracy is a scam.
With Greece about to join the EEC, the folks in a village are split: the right-wing president, Nomass, is an ardent supporter of accession, the left-wing secretary Leonidas is categorically opposed, and the socialist Michalis has some doubts. In addition to their common concerns, they are also preoccupied with the charms of the voluptuous and provocative widow Margarita. However, when they go down to Athens to sell their harvest and try to get decent prices for their oranges, they find that all the authorities are mocking them. The farmers find them sticks.
Acting
Stavros Paravas carries horny socialist energy perfectly.
Production
Peak 1981 Greek studio comedy—cheap, loud, weirdly sincere.
Director
Dimis Dadiras
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released months before actual Greek EEC accession—this was literally contemporary political commentary disguised as horny comedy.
Dimis Dadiras directed 40+ films; this one barely exists online, preserved mainly through bootleg VHS tapes of questionable legality.
