The Bubble

A man with difficulties in the stock market, falls for the woman who is the mistress of a big tycoon, in which he has invested in. Makis, a touter in a steak house and trapped in a plummeting stock market with his life's savings, meets and falls madly in love with Roula, a former Miss Mass Tourism who is now the mistress of Manolas, the wealthy president of the Olympourgiki technical company in which the poor hick has invested. Makis witnesses a near fatal attempt on the business tycoon's life and while the police implicate him as a member of a terrorist organization and pursue him, Mr. Fotis, a cold hit man, tries to recruit him for its purposes. Trapped and on the run Makis' only consolation is his love for Roula who follows him on all his lethal adventures until the "last resort" when they make their getaway along with Spartacus, the guy who wrote all the terrorist proclamations. —CL Productions After investing his life's savings in the stock market, and to be more specific, the elaborate pump-and-dump scam of unethical Manolas, penniless former IRS auditor Makis has to work as a tavern barker to make ends meet. One night, Manolas sets foot on Makis' steak house with his beautiful moll Roula and, much to everyone's surprise, fate intervenes. As a botched assassination plan--and even the police, forbidden desires, and a terrorist organisation--enter the equation, desperate Makis realises there's nowhere to hide. But the question remains. Will Makis ever get his money back? —Nick Riganas
