It is summertime in a pedestrian street in the heart of Athens. The residents are bored with their neighbours and feel indifference towards them. Someone parks his/her car in the street, activates the alarm and leaves. We never see who it is. The alarm of the car keeps going off all night, for no apparent reason. Inside their apartments, the 19 characters of the film are annoyed; they protest and threaten to do something about it. The unsolicited, persistent sound of the alarm will not let them rest. This is the night their paths will cross – with dire consequences.
Katerina Evangelakou's film Think it Over won Best Film, Best Director and Best Screenplay at the 2002 Thessaloniki International Film Festival.
