loosing control of his body.

He didn't want

to go through this.

He wanted to die with dignity.

That's why he decided

to put an end to his life.

He invited me here,

to explain his will.

This envelop contains

a letter signed by him.

It explains everything.

There is a copy in his office.

And how did you know that

he committed suicide today?

I was about to ask it.

He called me

just before he died.

And the lady?

I have in my hands

his last will.

He wished to be opened

right after his death...

in front of the people

of the island.

- All the people of the island?

- Yes.

Maybe he left some money

to the community.

All's well that ends well!

And you didn't believe me.

Apologize to me now.

Olympia, you may go.

I'm sorry.

And you think it's enough?

We have work to do!

Take a hike!

Please, sit.

Come in.

The view is its big asset!

- Enjoy your stay.

- Thanks.

"At this difficult time

for our island...

your visit, Minister... "

Who's coming?

I don't know.

But someone will come.

Dikaios knew many people

in the government.

Everyone appraised him.

When he was younger...

because, nowadays,

they pretend not to know him.

And I thought that

a minister was coming!

Aggela, don't make me mad.

The funeral will be formal!

He deserwed it.

Agis, are you taking the piss?

You hated him.

This is different.

Don't talk to anyone.

We'll look foolish.

In any case, he was

a notable person.

He had authority,

he was a benefactor...

and he will be mentioned

in the history books.

You should dress

the square with flags.

It's not a bad idea.

He's a wanker.

I hate him! I despise him!

I want him dead!

Look at these eye bags!

I have to put

some moisturizer...

and to trim my beard.

He's a pig!

He's a peasant!

He only cares about himself!

He never cared

about our emotions.

He doesn't care

about me or my mother.

The tough guy!

The macho man!

He wants to make me like him.

Labros, I'm talking to you.

Are you ignoring me?

Of course not.

Which one?

I'm talking to you about

my life, my future...

and you worry about

what to wear in the funeral?

OK, but I can't go to the

funeral like a crazy woman.

I'll wear this one.

I like red colour.

What am I going to do

without you?

You left me on my own!

Isn't he gorgeous?

Look at him.

He's staring

at the notary.

He's drooling.

Let me go with him!

Is anyone keeping you?

You're cleaning, huh?

Do you keep any ammo

in the coast guard, or not?

Nothing.

What a brothel!

Eternal memory,

our beloved brother...

Today is a day of bereavement.

The whole village,

grieves for his loss.

An admirable child

of this island, is gone.

A nobleman, a visionary...
