Plot

Athens, 1971. In the middle of the costly seven-year military junta, Yorgos Baskos, a young sergeant, stumbles upon the frisky and promiscuous Evdokia at a local tavern and is captivated by her exuberance and beauty. As a result, intoxicated by wine and his lust for her, Yorgos raises his cup and dances for her eyes only, unbeknownst to him that her lover is watching from afar with murderous intent. However, this unpleasant incident will mark the beginning of a tempestuous love affair defined by desire, fragile societal relations, and an ever-present internal conflict arising from lost dreams in a fleeting life. Will Yorgos and Evdokia ultimately survive one another?
