What keeps us apart, and what draws us together? This audacious antiwar classic, filled to the brim with hilarious innuendo, exposes the shared humanity between two feuding peoples. The women of the warring factions wage a psychological battle of their own when they take over the Acropolis and withhold their sexual favors from the savage local men until such time as the insane conflict is ended.
