The wedding ceremony of the young MP candidate faces insurmountable difficulties: the golden Mercedes carrying the newlyweds is buried in the snow, and the picturesque chapel to which they arrive after toil and torment is not the chapel of their wedding. With no best men and no guests but neurotic parents and a church priest, the couple must postpone indefinitely the lavish wedding they planned, but also find a way to survive during their days-long lockdown. The presence of the “Other” in the same suffocating space will be the catalyst that will provide the “solution”, rallying the family into a group fortified behind common beliefs, common interests and common aspirations. At the risk of the “other”, the different, the group unites and erects an invisible wall that does not easily allow its permeability. On the occasion of a wedding that is canceled, Penny Filaktaki with caustic humor and penetrating gaze, talks about the pathogenies of Greek society, and not only. Pathogens that define the different - whether it is inside us or outside - as a threatening virus and as a problem that must be isolated so as not to disturb the “normal” uniformity --- Six characters trapped in very few squares face each other and each with himself
