O nonos

Haris Acharos is a poor family man, a tax collector by profession, very honest and unwilling to compromise his conscience in any way. His financial problems are great and the temptations to take bribes are many, but Haris Acharos is unshakeable. As a result, his family is deprived and he argues with his wife on a daily basis. His only hope is that his godfather will come from Chicago to bail him out financially. The godfather arrives and solves all his problems, but gets him into other kinds of trouble because he is a mafioso...

Directed by Giorgos Petridis, O nonos leans on a strong ensemble — Nikos Tsoukas, Sasa Kastoura, Kostas Fatouros — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1987.
