Katy (Dimitra Matsouka) and Irene (Eleni Kastani) are two old friends, born, brought-up and currently living, in Didimoticho, a Greek town near the far North-East borders of the country. Katy is single, pretty and a hairdresser's assistant. According to the gossip of the men in town she is, as well, supposed to be promiscuous in her affairs. Irene is married to Dimitris, runs a lingerie shop and her self esteem is somehow low.
Katy has a dream: "to leave" and escape from something. Irene has a dream: to get pregnant and get Dimitris' interest back.
One day Katy persuades Irene to join a trip to Myconos. The trip is impossible but they manage to get on. On the way to south (Athens) the stories and personal experiences of the people they meet unfold in a semi-professional way, allowing life to dance with death, reality to survive the dreams and hope to prevail from pain.
The movie is shot many times assimilating an amateur camera shooting and at other times the dialogues are not following the same level and expectations of the plot. Judging though the movie as "not good" could be a defense for the painful reality; domestic violence, women's rights, closed communities, social exclusion and stigma for the weak one, social norms of the superficial success, finding God in the modern Balkans and the loneliness of death, are all met, felt and lived in this movie. And both Tselemegos(director) and Nassis (writer) vote for life, when the ultimate pain produces love, in a dramatic and long lasting ending.
