Sakis is an obsessive compulsive middle-aged man who once wanted to become\u00a0a painter, but ended up working as a guardian at the National Gallery, where, for the last 20 years, he has been watching over Constantine Parthenis\u2019 work of art \u201cThe Christ\u201d. He has a disrupted character that lives between the realms of reality and imagination whereas the modern era silence and social loneliness is spreading around.<\/p>\n
At a certain moment a haberdasher rents a store just opposite his house. Sakis will impart to him the characteristics of an angel-guardian and will \u201cappoint\u201d him as his guide in life. Their everyday words are construed by Sakis as oracles, as his life guidance.<\/p>\n
For some time, the unintentional instructions of the haberdasher act beneficially as regards Sakis, who feels he has at last found a goal in life and a person to guide him. At some moment, however, at the instigation of an unexpected fact, things will result in a tragedy. Now Sakis invites his \u201cguardian-angel\u201d to his house in order to clarify the situation.<\/p>\n
The monologue specifically deals with those 50 minutes before the haberdasher\u2019s impending appearance at Sakis\u2019 home, a time period during which the hero addresses him confidentially, commandingly, imploringly until the unexpected end takes place.<\/p>\n
