For thirty years, Dimitri, a grocer of Greek origin, has been slaving away to provide financial security for his family. Then one day, he drops everything and goes up on his roof to fly a kite as he used to do as a child in Greece. His wife begs him to come down, to no avail. Enter his son, his brother, and finally the Québécoise tenant who can no longer stand the racket going on over her head. A dramatic comedy set in ethnic Montreal.

"Bouyoucas has told a small story directly, with great humanity and a surprisingly deft and manipulative use of language. In fact, this is a play about language, both as a cultural barrier and as an all-too-limited tool of communication... A world masterfully presented... to demonstrate the remarkable array of intimacy and exclusion languages can perpetrate." Bruce M.Smith, Theatrum Magazine, April-May, 1993.
