Summaries

Storyline

Against the backdrop of restless Athens, Greece, three stories of intercultural romance intertwine, depicting the turmoil and the inner sadness of a country trapped in a ceaseless socio-economic collapse. As a seemingly endless wave of fervent nationalism spreads in town, Farris, a Syrian refugee, saves Daphne, an idealist college student. Then, Yorgos, an unhappily married, pill-popping sales manager, has an unexpected affair with Elise, a frigidly beautiful Scandinavian corporate executive. Finally, Maria, a wistful Greek housewife whose family is struggling to keep afloat, has a chance encounter with grizzled Sebastian, who offers her a second chance in love. In the end, can love transcend all barriers? — Nick Riganas
