Ulysses is a middle-class Greek, married, with two children, who works in the Accounts Department of a large firm. It is summer, his entire family is away on vacation and, as he does every day now for many years, he takes the company bus to the factory where he works and where he is informed by the General Manager that he is fired. From that moment on, jobless but with his severance pay in hand, he starts wandering through Athens, the city where he has lived since the day he was born, but which is still unknown to him. He becomes acquainted with a girl, who becomes in his eyes the great love of his lost youth, but in his long chase after the girl, he continuously loses her traces. It is a chase full of surprises and funny incidents but also full of anguish, amounting sometimes to a state of phobia.
