Nikitas is a taciturn farmer who lives by himself in a farmhouse in the heart of a mountain forest in Northern Greece. His lonely life is disrupted when his son Johnny appears after a 20-year absence, demanding his share of the family’s land. An offer to buy the property for a huge sum pits the two men against each other, while exposing deeper rifts in a mountain community struggling for its survival.

Filmmaker Georgis Grigorakis sets his rain-drenched contemporary Western against a majestic backdrop and unfolds a timeless story of father and son against the Greek economic crisis and the threat of climate change.
