Summaries

A meek employee is at a crossroads: forsake his principles to marry into money or lead a humble existence with the love of his life. But the injurious effects of oppression wear him down. What will it take to be a law-abiding citizen?

Grigoris Monachogios, a downtrodden breadwinner who's been under his mother's thumb for years, is used to suppressing his wants and needs. As a result, unloved and lonely Grigoris soon finds himself at a crossroads: forsake his principles to marry into money or continue to lead a humble existence with the love of his life, Ioulia. But now, there is no turning back. And as the injurious effects of socio-economic oppression wear Grigoris down, an acrimonious manifesto before colleagues and employers in the name of progress will become the swan song of a romantic rebel. What will it take to be a law-abiding citizen?—Nick Riganas
