In the wake of a disaster, Aliki and her husband Petros take their young son Panagiotis to a provincial seaside town, seeking refuge. Working temporary jobs, Aliki and Petros try to put their lives back together so they can return home to Athens. When Aliki begins to realize that the plan is not working - or worse, may not even exist anymore - the distance between her and Petros begins to grow.

The relevant, intricate film, described by filmmaker Michalis Konstantatos as an “existential thriller,” was inspired by the Greek economic crisis and the displacement, both geographical and psychological, it caused.

Filmography: Luton (2013).
