A gangster comedy in which a hitman decides to quit his job to marry the beautiful woman who, thanks to his secret recipe, makes the best ketchup in town. Both cause considerable problems for the local "boss" and his protection money collectors.

In a cheap brothel at the foothills of an Athenian fortress, a man recounts the magnificent events of his life. His search for love and glory is retold and relived by many: a prostitute with an unredeemable past, a gangster haunted by bad luck, an icon painter who has no faith - In one of the stories, the man finds his riches, in another he becomes a vagabond prophet, in yet another he returns home to his wife. Memories betray him, but he knows for sure that in one of these lives, he will be killed.
