Homer, touriste américain et « philosophe amateur », passionné par la Grèce ancienne et ses philosophes, arrive en Grèce à la recherche de la Vérité. Dans un bar à rebetiko du Pirée, il croise la route d'Ilya, une prostituée très populaire, libre et indépendante, qui « reçoit » chaque jour de la semaine, sauf le dimanche (ce jour-là est réservé aux amis - d'où le titre du film). Homer, nouveau Pygmalion, décide de faire son éducation et de la remettre dans le droit chemin. Elle délaisse « ses amis », réaménage son intérieur, s'habille plus décemment. Homer l'accompagne à la représentation des tragédies grecques du Festival d'Athènes à l'Odéon d'Hérode Atticus.
