Official Synopsis
Under the scorching sun of the rugged Greek countryside, the young star-crossed lovers, Aggelos and Irini, dare to dream of a better future in dazzling but faceless Athens. Amid fear and prejudice, the couple has planned everything down to the last detail; however, the lack of money, and a momentary lapse of judgment, will condemn the two companions to a life of misery, as every police officer from their small village to the bustling capital is already informed of Aggelos' crime. Now, they have no other choice but to swallow their pride and hide. But, the road to Athens is long and perilous, and only God knows what dangers lie ahead. Will the runaway lovers ever find happiness?
