Synopsis
A group of journalists wander around Athens asking passersby for their definition of the «ideal man». Based on the information acquired and the identikit they come up with, they conduct a search for someone to fill the bill, a specimen who has all these characteristics. They find such a person, inform him that he has won a prize, that he has been selected as the «ideal man» and that he is to appear in a show built around him. He will also supposedly meet a glamorous movie star. The journalists hand him a piece of paper which he has to read and which relates his impressions of his meeting with the glamorous movie star which of course never takes place.
