A young widow and her son scour central Athens in search of an apartment as they are being evicted from their present place of residence. As they search for a house they meet an amazing array of people who help or hinder them and provide us with an insight into the often dehumanising aspect of life in a modern metropolis such as Athens. The relationship between mother and son is explored as the vicissitudes of their search test their love and affection for each other. The plot is perhaps spread a little thinly and the lack of strong subplots make this a pleasant movie, but not a great one. Worth watching if only for the very competent performances of the lead actors.
