Several fishermen, a retired sea captain, a woman and a waitress are in a Greek seaside taverna in the evening. The fishing has not been going well with a mistral making the sea too rough to fish in.
A man tells a mythical tale about a fishing village in the Mediterranean experiencing rough winds preventing fishermen from venturing out to fish. He tells the story in a dramatic fashion recreating the myth. Tables become boats and the entire tavern joins in playing parts of the myth that had two fishermen setting out in the evening to fish. A young man joins them in his own boat. The fishermen haul in their net and a dolphin is entangled. The men rescue the dolphin who repays the favour by pushing to shore the young man floundering in the ocean after his boat capsized being hit by a wave.
It was the waitress that played the trapped dolphin and she is sort of the girl with the dragon tattoo. A band enters the taverna at the end of the story with wild celebratory music and dancing ensues. The myth has taken over the reality and the waitress has become the myth.
In Greek with English subtitles.
