SYnOPSiSELENI KARAPANOS, professor of cardiology in London – has been estranged from her father KYRIAKOS for over fifteen years now, ever since she left Greece to relocate to England. Kyriakos, who had been a refugee child in Serbia after the war, has never forgiven her for leaving her country. One day, Eleni’s British husband HARRY loses his job in a big corporation and is posted to China indefinitely. Faced with a tough personal and professional dilemma, Eleni decides to visit her homeland and make amends with her father. On the pretext of responding to one of his calls, she takes her daughter ANNA, and comes to Greece for Easter holiday. But when she reaches home nothing she finds is as she expects. A Serbian woman, NINA, is living with Kyriakos, looking after his big estate. Kyriakos has been harbouring a few secrets of his own.
