In the Greek Parliament, politicians, police officers and janitors deal with boredom and antagonistic co-workers. The historic building is weighing them down with its inescapable, rich, Greek history, as they try to navigate their existential anxiety. Power games make tensions rise coercing them to act like children, leaving them feeling left out, sour and bruised. But through an act of kindness, the surroundings disappear and the characters self-reflect for the first time causing to cooperate for the first time. Music will help them become honest, earnest and vulnerable. Music will set them free before it’s too late, hopefully.
