In this episode of the documentary series *Paraskinio*, we watch a tribute to actor Nikos Kourkoulos. The episode includes an extensive excerpt from the rehearsals of the play *Invitation to the Castle* by Jean Anouilh, which was staged during the 1978–1979 season at the Kappa Theatre, starring Nikos Kourkoulos and Katia Dandoulaki.
