Plot
A man finds out the hard way just what his wife had planned while he was away on business in this sex comedy from Greece. Constantine (Lakis Lazopoulos) is an insurance salesman who, due to heavy traffic, misses a work-related flight to France and learns none will be available until the next day. There isn't much for Constantine to do but go home, but when he does, he discovers something unexpected -- his wife Andrea (Vera Krushka) is enjoying an enthusiastic romp in the bedroom with his best friend Alekos (Antonis Kafetzopoulos). Andrea and Alekos are occupied enough with their lovemaking that they don't notice Constantine has entered the room, and he quietly slips out before they're aware of his presence. Understandably angry, Constantine decides to stay in town while allowing Andrea and Alekos to believe that he's in France, and he uses the ruse to keep tabs on Andrea's infidelity. Meanwhile, Alekos' wife Daphne (Smaragda Karydi) is certain her husband is cheating on her, and knows that he's long been attracted to Andrea, but she hasn't put all the pieces together just yet. O Kaliteros Mou Filos was written and co-directed by leading man Lakis Lazopoulos, who is also a popular TV comedian in his native Greece. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
