Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

You might want to keep your phone out for these.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Tailor-made for armchair detectives and people who need a good giggle. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along. Shelve it next to Fletch or Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Soaked in 1970s atmosphere.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: Quick and easy-going.
What might put you off: It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1970: an older pace and style.
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

An active building contractor hires a failed private detective, Pantelis. His mission is to sabotage her competitor, Bastounas, who is planning to build a hotel complex. When Bastounas forgets the suitcase with the money for the purchase of the land on which the hotel will be built, Pantelis will do everything he can to delay his secretary, who is responsible for delivering the money to him.
