Plot

"Arpa-colla" in Greek literally means "Grab and stick", a phrase used to show something that has been done quickly and therefore isn't good enough. This is what the 2 main heroes of the film are doing.

Sinekatalog’s take

A Greek comedy named for a slapdash approach, following two heroes who do everything half-baked. The jokes lean on bungling and local color, giving it a cheerful, rough-edged appeal for fans of classic Greek farce.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
