In 2013 Anna Maria Athanasiou sets out to realise a bold dream: with the help of an ex-boyfriend who is a programmer, she starts making a film about the life of her great-grandfather Iakovos Athanasiou, based on an artificial-intelligence program. But the program gets out of their hands, and the story, and the life, of her great-grandfather turns out differently. Born on the same day as Eleftherios Venizelos, Iakovos lives through two national bankruptcies, falls in love and wanders among the myths of his time, in a 'historical comedy' that rereads Greek history.
