The neighbours meet again on the big screen after 18 years of the TV series Vourate Geitonoi at Sigma.

Based on a feud that began without any significant cause between the Karakamilos and Pattalossavves families in 1754 and continues to this day, the contemporary reality of Cyprus will be presented through exaggerated comedy. We will see everyday people, our neighbors, but also people who are twice our size, who live in our homes and whom we do not pay much attention to. They are foreigners, "outsiders." They are people who chose Cyprus, to work for a better future. How do we treat them? How do Cypriots today view foreign workers? Amidst all this, a great love and two deaths reignite the feud, which no one knows how or when it will end.

The story recounts the life of a mafia family in the countryside. Sofronis Kapetanios, a mafia boss and anti-drug activist, decides to retire from active duty and pass the baton to his daughter Veta. She is a housewife by profession who takes care of him. This angers his son Loizos Kapetanios and, like a fallen angel, together with his authoritarian wife Markella, they antagonize their family, making their lives difficult. Veta keeps this a secret from her father so that he does not die prematurely from grief. Veta's three sons, petty crooks who set up games and own a ball pit, try to help their mother keep the business alive. Meanwhile, the other clan leaders find a way to exploit the family conflict by expanding their activities.
