MEN WITH MUSIC with Nikoleta Vlavianou

Patty, a woman around her forties, offers a last chance to her self in order to cast out her adverse fortune that haunts her relationships with the other sex, and find at last her ideal spouse partner.

Men she has shared her life with are being “reanimated” in vivid images just right in front of us through funny, as well as moving narrations and incidents, while they are always accompanied by a rock song that completes in a determinative way the recall of each memory. Patty retraces again with a lot of humor and sarcasm the steps of her entire erotic life, making selectively or necessarily stops at the most important men-standpoints, in order to square accounts from the past with them and make a brand new start. What she by-passes though, is that her destiny plays a very bizarre game that will surprise the hero of our story as well as the audience with its subversive and unexpected finale.
