Kostis settles in amid Christmas celebrations, meeting several people, among them Takis, a villager who crudely assures him that the island will be overflowing with hedonistic young women during the summer.

Her friends – Alin, Mila, Jason, and Morten – insist on accompanying her into the examination room and behave obnoxiously.
