As the lights flicker on a warm August night, amidst vacant Athens' stillness, a modern bohemian flirts with a woman he just met at a phone booth, while strolling around the city's quiet night streets.

Plot

Nikos, a jobless poet and bohemian pipe-dreamer in his early thirties, seems content with his indolent lifestyle, silently aching to love and be loved. On the other hand, beautiful Sophia, a self-confident fashion stylist in her mid-twenties, thirsts to fulfil her aspirations; nevertheless, she, too, is leading an ordinary life. But, opposites attract, and as the lights flicker on a warm August night, amidst vacant Athens' stillness, Nikos, the knight in a not-so-shining armour, plucks up the courage to approach Sophia: the alluring woman he has just met at a phone booth. Now, over the brief course of the remaining evening, Nikos, who is effortlessly blurring the line between chatting and flirting, will earn Sophia's trust, underlining the necessity of a radical change in her life while strolling around the city's quiet night streets. However, who knows what the first ray of light will bring?
