Greek exploitation cinema's most unhinged family reunion — arson, greed, and absolutely zero survivors.
The film tells the tale of three men, who have murdered the rich mother-in-law of one of them and four members of her family in order to steal her fortune. An unemployed man decides to kill his mother-in-law in order to take her property. But when, with the help of two accomplices, he sets fire to her house, his wife and their two children will die with her.
