It's summer in Cyprus, and 11-year-old Iris is running wild through the streets with her older friend Danae when she learns that her estranged father, Aris, is back in town for his own father's funeral. Determined to know him, Iris tracks him down to a dilapidated shipyard, where he has been keeping to himself. What begins as a stubborn attempt to reconnect slowly unfolds into a fragile bond, imperfect yet poignant. Myrsini Aristidou's debut feature traces the quiet, often unspoken longing that forms in the absence of a father, and the unsettling vulnerability of two people who know of each other but do not truly know one another.
