Synopsis
In a crowded seaside town in Malta, Dimitrios drifts through a world of concrete, haunted by a mysterious past and detached from the world around him, until he meets Annie. Like him, she has a child she never sees, has suffered love’s disappointments, and lives without freedom or companionship. Fate draws them together, yet circumstances pull them apart.
