Loafing and Camouflage: Sirens in the Aegean is a 2005 film and the seoncd to bear the "Loafing & Camo" stamp, the first being Loafing and Camouflage by Nikos Perakis. The film stars an ensemble cast of Greek and Turkish actors. In 2011, the film "Loafing and Camouflage: Sirens at Land" is the reunion of the cast 8 years later.
This army satire follows a small group of Greek soldiers in the island of Kos, when they are assigned to spend a few days guarding a small rock island named Pitta to defend an alleged invasion from Turkish troops. After their arrival in Pitta, everything looked normal until a Turkish boat (sent there for a modeling photo shooting) disembarked 4 castaways on Pitta. Amongst the models was the niece of a Turkish Admiral, which made things more complicated when the Turkish authorities started looking for them. The protagonists did not know what to do since a diplomatic episode could be inevitable. The outcome is the involvement of both countries in the incident resulting in several comic situations.
