A family of three – a father, Babis, and his teenage twins, Konstantinos and Elsa – set off on the family sailboat for a few days together on the island of Poros. The days slip by with swimming, sunbathing, and new connections, as the sea air slowly eases them into a different rhythm. But in the midst of this seemingly carefree summer, an unexpected encounter unsettles the balance – and the holiday, meant as a time to reconnect, quietly shifts their relationship in a direction none of them quite saw coming.
