Chevalier is a Greek comedy-drama film directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari. The story revolves around a group of six middle-aged men who embark on a fishing trip on a luxurious yacht in the middle of the Aegean Sea.

As the men begin their trip, they decide to engage in a game where they will constantly compare and measure themselves against each other. The game includes various activities such as arm wrestling, diving, cooking, and singing. Through these challenges, they test their skills, endurance, and even their blood samples to determine who is the best among them.

Throughout their journey, the dynamics of the group begin to change. Friendships are tested as they become rivals, and rivalries intensify as they grow increasingly competitive. The group dynamics take a comical turn as the men's efforts to outshine each other become over the top and absurd.

Their desire to prove themselves leads to humorous and absurd situations, resulting in outrageous and unconventional competitions. The men compete in unconventional categories such as determining who can sleep more peacefully, who has the best teeth, or who has the cleanest apartment.

As the challenges become more outrageous, tensions rise, and the men's initial camaraderie slowly transforms into jealousy and resentment. They become consumed by the intensity of the game, causing their relationships to fray and their true selves to emerge.

In the end, when the game reaches its conclusion, one of the men emerges as the winner and earns the right to wear the victory ring, the Chevalier, on his smallest finger. However, as the group reflects on their journey, they realize that the true measure of a man cannot be determined through such absurd competitions. They come to question the importance of the game and the definition of being the "best man."

Chevalier is a satirical portrayal of masculinity, competitiveness, and the inherent absurdity of such societal expectations. With its witty humor and insightful commentary, the film explores the fragility of ego and the perils of constantly comparing oneself to others, ultimately aiming to challenge conventional notions of what it means to be the best.
