Plot

A young gay man in Athens, Angelos, keeps his sexual identity a secret from his family. He falls hard for a rough sailor, Mihalis, and moves in with him. Mihalis convinces Angelos to dress in drag and work a corner with other transvestites. With the money, Mihalis buys a fancy motorcycle and hangs out in bars. By day, Angelos is in the army; at night, he is a prostitute. At Christmas, he visits his grandmother, and learns that both she and his mother were also prostitutes. A crisis ensues when neighborhood men beat up Angelos: his family is informed, the army discharges him, and his father goes crazy. Then Mihalis wants Angelos gone.

gollark: Anyway: I can't think of solutions for this which do *not* involve deterministically case-converting everything *or* other badness.
gollark: I mean, unix FSes are case sensitive.
gollark: Seems reasonable.
gollark: Well, the issue is this:- I would be very annoyed if linking to things was case-sensitive- I can make SQLite look up stuff case-insensitively, but this would cause further bee with other components probably
gollark: Hmm, am I going to horribly regret having Minoteaur canonicalize titles to Title Case Or Something?
