Panagiotis and Giannis are two good friends but also rivals in love. The first is a merchant and the second a violinist; one is tall and slim and the other short and fat; one is bossy, the other one mild. Both make an inimitable comic couple, wandering in the Peloponnese, looking for a date tree that will prove the innocence or guilt of the wife of one of them and possibly lover of the other. They are guided by an old picture depicting Panagiotis' wife, Maria, in the arms of Giannis, under a date tree. However, the area of their search, there are no date trees.

Πού να ήξερε ο Βακαλόπουλος όταν έλεγε «ο κομπιούτερ» πως μια μέρα θα είναι ο αγαπημένος της ελληνικής χιψτερ κοινότητας.Ο Ραφαηλιδης ειχε πει: αυτή ειναι η πιο χριστιανικά ορθοδοξη ελληνική ταινία. Μια ελληνική ταινία άκρως ειρωνική και χιουμοριστική και μαζί βαθύτατα ορθόδοξη. Κάποιοι κάνουν την προσευχή έργο ζωής και κάποιοι άλλοι ζουν τη ζωή τους μετά θεϊκής μανίας. Τρώνε, πίνουν, περιδρομιάζουν, ερωτεύονται και εν γένει κάνουν ό,τι και κάθε άνθρωπος που ξέρει τι σημαίνει η ευαγγελική ρήση τα του Καίσαρος τω Καίσαρι και τα του Θεού τω Θεώ.
Διότι ανεξήγητα πρέπει να πεθαίνουν, μοιχοί και προδότες της φιλίας!Beautiful cinematography and a perfect script as always.
