A tender, intimate portrait of two marginalized people finding unexpected love and redemption in the shadows of Athens.

Yiorgos is released from prison after 14 years of incarceration for a murder he committed in his small Greek village. He spends his first night out in a cheap downtown hotel in Athens. There he meets Strella, a young trans sex worker. They spend the night together and soon they fall in love.
