The body of a car accident victim awaits identification in the morgue of a remote coastal resort. As it unravels the series of events that led to the accident, the drama enters the realm of the uncanny, slowly revealing its mysteries, unfolding a compelling story of loss, acceptance and moving on.

Variety calls it “compelling” and says, “Zois is among a promising generation of emerging Greek filmmakers that have stepped out of the long shadow cast by the so-called Weird Wave to nurture their own distinctive, idiosyncratic voices.”
