About this title

Storyline

Kleon Beziris (the last name means "vizier") is the long-serving general secretary of a Greek ministry, and has been using the position for personal profiteering. His lifelong ambition is to become the cabinet minister for this ministry. He belongs to a socialist political party, though he does not actually share the party's ideologies. After the disqualification of various candidate ministers (due to Kleon's intrigues), the Prime Minister appoints career politician Evangelos Moschos as the new minister. Evangelos is a kind-hearted, obese, and jolly man, whose main interests are food and sex. His attention is constantly divided between his wife Roza Moschou (the gambling-addicted daughter of an influential businessman), and his mistress Anita Rasia (a professional nightclub singer with an avaricious mentality). Evangelos is rather incompetent, but knows how to use political connections to advance his career. Kleon constantly schemes to have the minister removed from office, while posing as Evangelos' right-hand-man and best friend. However a combination of bad luck and the opposition of Evangelos' staff and associates, leads each evil plan to backfire. The main cast also includes 1) Lazaros Lazaridis, personal assistant to Kleon, and often unwilling accomplice to his master's schemes 2) Fani Kontoglou, the politically shrewd private secretary of Evangelos (Beziris' main opponent), and 3) Poli Arhontaki, a dim-witted assistant secretary whose attempts to seduce Beziris disrupt his daily activities.
