The choice of Jean Le Gall, Editor "After his wife's death, an architect flees to Athens, where his grief meets with absurd drama, stolen relics, and a nation torn between past and future." ~

After his wife Léa falls to her death from a building he designed, Vassilis flees Paris for Athens. Haunted by guilt, he finds himself caught up in a surreal spiral of eccentric neighbors, lost antiquities, and emotional chaos. Fired from IKEA, pressured by Léa’s sister, and betrayed by a mysterious archaeologist, he attempts a heist at the Parthenon—only to fall and be arrested. A darkly comic tale of grief, identity, and reinvention in a city torn between past glory and modern absurdity.
