A cinematic farewell to the "Vilma" cinema in Thessaloniki, which closed in December 2024 as the last traditional erotic cinema in Greece. At the same time, a salute to the legendary "Laikon" and "Star", temples of the genre in the two largest cities of Greece. Famous and anonymous people participate in this final farewell.

The settlement of Dendropotamos, the gypsy settlement, is located to the west of Thessaloniki, on the outskirts of the city. It is surrounded by expressways, flyovers, the train tracks, the KTEL station, the abandoned camps. All "invisible" and degraded, the city's largest river underground, the lives of the residents and the environment together. Every day, thousands of cars pass over the torrent ignoring it. Despite the adversities, in the ghetto of Dendropotamos, the Lighthouse of the World (Minor Protection Center), the Second Chance School, the Women's Association of Dendropotamos, proud people resist and hope for a better future.
