Vault Note

Only in 70s Greece could a telepathic heiress find herself hunted by Cold War spies and seedy gigolos.

Programmer's Pick

Telepathy, car chases, and a jet-setting Athens backdrop — this is the kind of genre-blender where Greek gigolos meet Cold War spies and no one leaves unscathed. Nico Mastorakis tosses scheming crooks and a deadly mother-daughter duo into a sci-fi-tinged thriller, all with a 1975 Euro-sleaze glaze.

Synopsis

Tses, a greek gigolo and petty swindler, and his friend Bob, who has just arrived in Athens, are called to protect Geraldine and her mysterious daughter, Christine, from a gang that threatens their life. After adventurous car chases and shootouts, the two friends will be seized by the gang and their leader will inform them that Geraldine is an East-German spy, who has kidnapped Cristine (who posesses telepathic abilities) in order to use her to assasinate a senior, albeit dissident, Soviet diplomat.

When local gigolo Chess (Chris Nomikos) greets his vacationing friend Bob Kovalski (Peter Winter) at Athens airport, the pair embark on a string of scams and erotic dalliances that eventually lead them into contact with an elegant wealthy woman, Geraldine Steinwetz (Jessica Dublin), and her glamorous daughter Christine (Maria Aliferi). Geraldine blackmails the two cheeky bachelor boys into acting as bodyguards for Christine, whom it transpires has telepathic abilities and has had her eye on them for some time. After fleeing from a series of assassination attempts, it soon becomes clear that Geraldine herself might not be quite whom she seems, as the two young men find themselves caught up in a political conspiracy of international dimensions.
