Olga Malea, "HONEY AND THE PIG"
Although adored by women, MANOS (25) desperately avoids sex. To escape a girlfriend who has almost got him to bed, he flees to his village. There, in an isolated hut, he discovers his UNCLE offering loukoumades (a kind of Greek donuts) to a 10-year old BOY. The scene looks innocent, but Manos suspects that his uncle has "other" intentions. Manos teams up with FENIA, a young woman hearse driver, and a pet piglet, which adores loukoumades, to set up his uncle. In the process however Manos falls in love with Fenia, while the pet piglet turns the village upside down.
Would MANOS' suspicions about his uncle be confirmed? Would he be able go all the way with FENIA? In the end, love and joy is found in an enormous pan full of loukoumades.
