    Despite his best efforts, shy and modest bank clerk Thomas (Dinos Iliopoulos) struggles to fit in with the pace of modern life. On New Year's Eve, a comedy of errors ensues and Thomas is mistaken for 'The Ogre', a notorious criminal mastermind who rules the streets of Athens. Suddenly, men respect him and a woman is interested in him - it's all he's ever wanted. However, everything comes with a price and Thomas is soon out of his depth when his unwitting white lie unravels. Rich with physical comedy and sharp social commentary, this satirical crime drama from director Nikos Koundouros (Young Aphrodites) was a commercial disaster on release and is now considered to be a true classic of modern Greek cinema.
