What better way to cool oneself off on a hot summer Wednesday than to go for a splash with the company of a good friend? Bursting with excitement and a feeling of great anticipation before meeting a blonde hottie and her equally good-looking companion, the lascivious textile merchant, Thomas, lures his gullible old friend, Charilaos, into something his watchful wife, Matina, would have never approved. And just like that, the stage is set for a splendid afternoon by the sea behind Matina's back, and a hearty slice of extramarital shenanigan; however, to pull off something like that, one needs a certain level of expertise, luck and courage--necessary qualities those two miscreants, clearly, lack. Will Charilaos get away with it? —Nick Riganas
