2026 · 103 min · ★ 6.5 · Comedy, Crime, Drama

Four women, from different worlds, reunite after years of silence to fulfill the promise they made in childhood: to take revenge on Gerasimos Mantas, the young director who abused them at the orphanage where they grew up. However, things do not turn out as they had planned. Instead of a well-organized plan of revenge, the situation spirals out of their control, with the women becoming entangled in tragicomic situations filled with failed attempts and unpredictable events. With a dark yet comedic perspective, the film touches on deep human trauma, while the heroines’ quest for revenge becomes the focal point of a black comedy.
