The arrival of a stranger on a small and remote island in the Aegean has the effect of uncovering a family tragedy. The closed male society covers up incest and rape, making the women into mute accomplices. It takes the death of a girl and the persecution of the stranger to finally break the silence.
*The film was nominated for a Golden Leopard at the Locarno Festival in 1992. Dimitris Poulikakos also won the Best Supporting Actor award at the 33rd Thessaloniki Film Festival, while the film was nominated for the Golden Alexander.
