## Synopsis

Eglimata (1998-1999) is a Greek comedy series created by Lefteris Papapetrou and broadcast on ANT1, produced in Greece as a two-season run of 66 episodes. Flora, a woman disappointed by her marriage to Achilleas, rekindles a secret affair with Alekos, her childhood love, after fate throws them back together. Their illicit reunion draws the anger of Alekos's wife Soso, played by Ketty Konstadinou, who decides to avenge her husband's infidelity. Iro Mane plays Flora, while Kostas Koklas plays Alekos and Hristos Hatzipanagiotis plays Achilleas. The engine of the show is a rising chain of schemes, betrayals and mishaps, as each side tries to outwit the other and the protagonists' romance keeps pulling them into deeper trouble. Each episode is built from comic escalation among a tight circle of relatives, lovers and rivals in a contemporary Greek household. Its tone is breezy and mischievous, with a sharp edge of marital bitterness and a warm affection for the characters. Fans of Desperate Housewives and Married with Children will find resonance in its domestic scheming and its appetite for marital farce.
