In the play written in 1972, Fontas and Kolias play a game of backgammon in a yard in Thiseio, Athens. Fontas, who is a demon in business plans, tries to convince the lottery seller Kolias to start together a plan in order to gain a lot of money.
Due to the intense extroversion and physical expression of the interpretations, even foreigners can watch and understand the play.
