The film looks at the 2004 Olympic Games, held in Athens, Greece, through the eyes of non-Greeks who are living and working in Athens. The Olympics function both as a national and international event, but in Greece, the cradle of the Games, the national(istic) element is much more pronounced. So, how do people from different cultures interact with this event?

The film contains interviews with people who have volunteered for the games, people who have worked as construction workers for the athletic facilities, and others who do not care or are against the undertaking altogether.
