Romantic comedy about a very unromantic goddess blending in with mortals. The film is set in Athens, 1996 and follows a third year student named Georgios deal with his new roommate, a posh sounding girl named Athena who seemingly knows little about the conditions of the working class. Little does he know, she’s secretly the actual goddess Athena, AWOL from Olympus after a nasty confrontation with Zeus. Some basic plot devices include, but are not limited to - Athena trying to keep up appearances, Georgios’ best friend and fellow band member Nikolaos’ suspicion, the unspoken love polygon between Georgios/Athena and Georgios’ ex-girlfriend Viktoria/Band’s drummer Demetrios. Artemis serves as deuteragonist to Athena, like Nikolaos does to Georgios, Athena develops a smoking and drinking habit, Athena’s grand confession of godhood and feelings to Georgios go awry, Zeus tries to punish Georgios by holding a mock trial and shooting him with lightning, Athena accidentally does a “if you’re going to get him, you’re going to have to go through me” and takes the blast, tension with Athena’s coma, Georgios apologises to Athena and finally reciprocates. Yay.
