From its first images, elemental and disorienting, we are led into a world both familiar and startling. The broken and uncertain triad of the nuclear family is seen through the eyes of seven year old Luca, who chooses to cast a protective bubble over her bumbling, if loving, father. Hoping to fix up a property for sale, the family returns to the Greek Island of Santoroni, where mother and father reignite their passion. Suddenly the young girl faces an emotional environment now much changed. This film elegantly crosses and recrosses the line between realism and myth, in a work that grows out of the unspoken desires and assumptions of all three characters.
