Synopsis
Longing for a better life, two Greek Cypriot friends, Evagoras and Onisilios, decide to emigrate to the Persian Gulf to earn enough money to start their own business. In Arabia, the befriend their American employer and his wife. There begins a relationship of outrageous domination, in which sadomasochistic and homosexual relations are surreptitiously filmed. When they return home, the pair open a night club and start a profitable, undercover prostitution ring. It appears, on the outside, that the duo have become legit enterprising businessmen. However, their past catches up with them when Achilles, the "American friend," reappears with the reel of film containing the record of, what they consider to be, some rather "humilitating and undignified" acts.
