The four protagonists, Li-Tzu, Candy Slice, Dhalia Meanor and Adela Carroza anxiously await the arrival of Mr. Ioso, the Greek who will fulfill their dreams. It is during this anxious wait that they recount the story of their turbulent lives which are often distorted by desire, ambition and revenge.
