SYNOPSIS
Ilias, a young man in debt, crosses the sea to a remote island hoping to secure the inheritance of his late and estranged father, a doctor. He soon discovers that no will exists and worse still, he is struck by a mysterious numbness in his limbs. Unwilling to return empty-handed to his creditors, Ilias is confined to the rental rooms where his father once lived and confronts a small community of locals centered around Karina, the owner of the rentals and his father’s former lover, and Kalliopi, a woman with dreams of fleeing the island, who works there. At the same time inexplicable illnesses begin to spread, affecting not only him but others as well. Tapping into the memory of a father and a life unbeknownst to him, and with the troubles that brought him to the island in the first place, still unresolved, Ilias and Kalliopi move closer to one another. Against all odds, love grows.
