This is Menidi, a town at the edge of the bustling city. A remote commoner's neighbourhood on the outskirts of the multicultural Athens, a notorious, muddy and lustreless wild suburbia that almost everybody has heard of, but surely, only a few desire. Under those circumstances, on the brink of the new Millennium, nearly 18-year-old cocky and rebellious Sasha leads a group of Pontian Greek immigrant friends, sharing a mundane and harsh day-to-day life, dreaming of conquering the world. But instead, knowing that life, their life, is nothing but a meaningless bad dream, marginalised and always under society's heavy thumb, they chase the elusive easy money even if this leads to the city's repulsive face and a gloomy and unrelenting world defined by prostitution, drugs, and inevitably, loss. They say that teenagers rely on their invincibility. Sadly, this is not the case.
