Evgenia (Anna Mascha) is a professional photographer whose work is divided between fashion layouts and nude spreads for men's magazines. Vicky (Dimitra Matsouka) is Evgenia's makeup artist and best friend, and both of them have to juggle their professional commitments with their responsibilities as wives and mothers. Evgenia is sick and tired of her husband Filippos (Konstantinos Markoulakis) and his lack of enthusiasm about handling his share of the household responsibilities, and Vicky's hubby Manolis (Kleon Grigoriadis) fares no better in her eyes, so the two women decide to pool their resources and move their families into one big house. Neither Filippos nor Manolis are especially enthusiastic about this idea, but Evgenia and Vicky are not to be dissuaded. But when Evgenia and Vicky's friendship crosses a line and their husbands discover them in bed together; Filippos and Manolis are outraged and decide to take the children and move out until the women have come to their senses. The men weren't counting on their wives' reactions, however; Evgenia and Vicky are not bothered in the least, having a fine time away from their men and their kids, until Vicky is briefly brought back to the straight (if not narrow) when she has a fling with one of Evgenia's assistants -- much to Evgenia's annoyance. Rizoto was the third feature for writer and director Olga Malea and, like her other two pictures, it was a box-office sensation in her native Greece. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
