Day Off (1982). A comedy starring Petros Zarkadis, Anna Makraki, Katerina Youlaki, Athinodoros Prousalis, Dimitris Piatas, Tasos Yfantis, and Minas Hatzisavvas. A comedy about the modern lifestyle in a city like Athens. The protagonist is an ordinary Greek man of the petty bourgeoisie who rebels against the madness reigning around him. We follow him during his weekly day off. He has various tasks to attend to: repairing his car, undergoing a medical examination by the Health Board, and mailing a package abroad. He also finds time to visit his family, meet his mistress, and attend a work dinner. Throughout the day, the tragicomic situation he experiences begins to weigh increasingly heavily on him, as everyone he encounters burdens him with their personal problems. Ultimately, this prevents him from forming any genuine personal or human connection.

In a village, preparations are underway for the wedding of a wealthy landowner's daughter to her fiancé, a distinguished agronomist from Athens. At the same time, the estate overseer—who is in love with his employer's daughter—wants to leave the village, evidently because he cannot bear to see the woman he loves marry someone else.
