Βorn on Saturday
Savvas, a forty-five-year-old party animal and womanizer, wins 7.5 million euros on Joker. That's good. The bad thing is that he finds out while he's driving, loses control of his car and wakes up the next day in the hospital with total amnesia. The worst thing is that the only people who know that he's the lucky one are his three ex-wives. Kaiti, Bia and Soula. Taking away his lucky ticket is the best revenge for the man who abandoned them in the worst way. The problem is that the only one who knows where the ticket is is Savvas. Or rather he did. Because now, he doesn't even remember his name...
