Eleni is a country girl who came to Athens twenty years ago. Today she is in her early thirties, a would-be dancer who no longer dances, a married woman no longer in love with her husband, leading an uneventful bourgeois life. Grigoris is a successful economist, a career man, who has lived in Paris for so long that he feels nostalgia for Greece and his boyhood years there. When the two of them meet, they feel a sudden love for each other, a love which thrills them and threatens their quiet lives. Their love takes them to Lisbon, and perhaps even further.
