The story unfolds in seven nights. Seven rainy winter nights in Athens when its inhabitants have withdrawn and the city sleeps. And in one's dreams anything can happen. Angry young misfits daily gamble with their lives in their attempts to prove which motorbike is the fastest.
Victory parties break up in clouds of smoke, beer and boredom.
Eleni, an intellectual in her forties, is looking for the man with whom she used to live. Instead she finds a silent youth with a fear of light. Seven nights in a row when he races across them on his motorbike, until the final encounter. As young men must in order to become men. The dowry of the one is experience, accumulated time and retrospection.
