Taverna owner Kostas gets more than he bargained for when his popular belly dancer refuses to work to avoid her ex-husband and his new girlfriend, and is replaced at the last minute by one of his eager waitresses. Matters are further complicated by a kidnapping, a scooter accident involving Kostas' son, a well-meaning chef who cooks up a rare treat and a sleazy customer who doesn't know his limits. It all adds up to a darkly comic ride into the wild side of life, love, food and cultural differences.
