Leonidas, a 33 years old punk rock young fellow living his life between Athens and Thessaloniki, wants to climb on the top of Mt.Olympus with a group of friends. They will help Leonidas break the record of ascending to Olympus on a wheelchair. Him, being confined in a wheelchair for the last 7 years, is the only one who has reached the top before. This will definitely be the most punk rock climbing of their lives.
