The story follows a theatre troupe who arrives in a city to perform Frankenstein, where they meet a young female reporter, who is investigating the legend and who believes that the novel is not fiction, but rather the true story of a group of intellectuals and alchemists founded by the young doctor Victor Frankenstein, who managed in 1817 to defeat mortality and return from the dead. Interviewing the theatre troupe members, the reporter is confronted with the dark heroes of the novel.

In a city - with heavy metal music haunting the heroes and the voice of Maria Callas being heard, an aged man, ex-terrorist, who dresses like a woman, the "red Maria", lives without any law and is hiding in the social shadows as a prostitute and performer, dancing in the streets, old and out-dated dances, for the passersby who give him money. In the street he meets a young boy, who lives there as a street urchin, at deaths door after a neo-fascists attack. The boy, alcohol addicted, hears the voice of Maria Callas, speaks with the dead diva, with the mother he misses. In overdose he dreams of the perfect world. "Red Maria" saves the boy and teaches him the "job". In order to survive they invade cafes, giving performances that talk for a new, political God, for the political mistake of God, for the end of the ideology

Shortly before the completion of his latest project, a filmmaker who has already made his mark on the local cult and avant-garde film scene, presents his latest effort - a real low-budget masterpiece!

A violent man in the highlands of the Greek province traffics emigrants and young hookers from the Balkan countries. The man doesn't dare to prostitute his teenage daughter, Fanny. Fanny, addicted to drugs now and mentally quite invalid, does not resist to the violence of her father and works for him as a prostitute.

The movie tells the tale of a beautiful young woman whose life is turned around when her ex-porn star dad is made (by the producers) to cast her as the lead in his latest x-rated film. A devastating testimony of the rise and fall of Greek family values, an existentialist journey where habit and cruelty are only separated by life and death
