Helena has a problem: she likes men. She even likes the father of her two children. Marios is 15 years older, but she doesn't love him. Their marriage was arranged by Helena's parents when she was too young. Her mother is a traditional Greek who believes a woman's place is in the home, cooking and bearing children. Her father agrees with her mother, because this makes his life easier. Helena works at a London art gallery in the mornings and at a fashion magazine in the afternoons. When she isn't juggling jobs and family, she searches for the perfect man. As her friend Penny says, such a creature cannot possibly exist. But that doesn't stop Helena trying, and having fun doing so. The fact that she loves sex makes the hunt more exciting. In each man she's with, Helena finds traits she likes - but in none of them does she find what she's looking for. This is the story of one woman trying to cope with everything life has to throw at her, and how she complicates issues by trying to solve them between the sheets.
