Safe Sex is a 1999 Greek comedy film written and directed by Michalis Reppas and Thanasis Papathanasiou. When the film was released in Greece, it was considered a blockbuster.[2][3]
Plot
The film features an ensemble cast of Greek actors portraying various characters, each living his own story in modern Greece. Almost everyone of the protagonists is interrelated to each other, and all live their own parallel stories which often converge at several points. Several professional actors appear briefly or in non-speaking cameo roles.
As a result, there is no central plot or prominent protagonist who may be singled out. The major theme of the movie is sex and each character's approach to it, portrayed in a comedic way.
