Like in an ancient Greek novel, the couple will be happily together—but only after getting through a lot of troubles and being apart. In this contemporary story, instead of adventures derived from the Olympian Gods, two people in love face a complex mix of geopolitical, economic and social issues.

Non-powdered faces, uneven walks, family scenes, inner struggles, the search to find the necessary words, and dreams set against an unpolished reality. This film is the personal story of the director Polina Moshenska, who moved from Kyiv, Ukraine, to Thessaloniki, Greece, to reunite with her beloved. She details the story about the effort it takes to cover a great distance and the obstacles encountered along the way, about the relationship with her Greek husband and her still pulsing connection to Ukraine.
