Skevos is a gracelessly handsome young man, with wide naïve looking and dreamy eyes. He is fair-haired, fair-skinned and tall. Not your typical Mediterranean male. He and his family are in debt to a local loan-shark, and Skevos works hard to repay him. When a strange object tracked by an international intelligence agency, crashes into his field, inside a U.N. controlled area, his debtor, Pambos, a.k.a. “The Shark”, offers to cut 10% off Skevos’ debt if he takes the object to him. The village goes into tragicomic overload as the young farmer unwisely digs it out, setting off a chain of unexpected events.
