Monday is a 2020 drama film directed by Argyris Papadimitropoulos, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Rob Hayes.

They wake up naked on the beach Saturday morning surrounded by families - and police, who take them downtown.

Chloe is leaving in two days because her toxic relationship ended, but must recover her purse from the party.

Mickey and Argyris's freelance advertising jingle gig isn’t going well.

They’re meant to meet Aspa, his son's mother, beforehand but she ends up going alone, while he takes care of the party food.

Aspa tells Chloe Mickey is a terrible father who's never bothered with Hector.

Chloe secretly has an abortion, pretending to have the stomach flu, so puts him off when he wants to have sex.

They joyfully learn a Greek song together to sing to Hector, then go out for one last carefree night before becoming responsible parents.

They get on the cycle naked, then pull up next to a cop car at a red light.

Taken to the station and charged, the court date is on Monday, so they will miss Hector’s visit tomorrow.
