The Bubble
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.
