O Skliros Antras 1961. Sperantza Vrana, "i loula i dervisena", as she is known, is is jail playing with the komboloi (worry beads). She will try to extract a confession to a crime Hadjihristos did not commit by getting him drunk. Hadjihristos is Iraklis Leon-topoulos (Hercules is his first name and lion is part of his last name) a nice guy that so far has not lived up to his name to say the least. Kostas has a heart of gold and is taken advantage of by everybody including his tenants who do not pay the rent. He calls Loula "madame and mademoiselle", she corrects him her name is "dervisena". Kostas asks for an appetizer with the drink Loula offers him. Vrana plays the well endowed hooker perfectly, complete with the street language idioms and all (dervisena, tsik-leventis, tsiftis, saini, atsidas, kyp-astyno-(me), na to hai-(resai), me tsalakoneis, re hase, kontra-paramythi). At the end they call each other many clorful epithets "kseftila, agkouro, mbamia" and others and Kostas threatens her with the bottle. He claims to be a "stragalatzis", trying to say "a strangler". Hadjihristos last words were "jail, is a place for the leventes". Kostas Voutsas is the warden. Hadjihristos calls him "patata" (potato). Giannis Dalianidis wrote the scenario from a Giorgos Roussos play and directed.
