Description

A devastating fire sweeps through a small Greek island, leaving destruction and loss in its wake. A family's life is reduced to ashes when greed and indifference ignite a blaze that rages out of control. The aftermath brings trauma, guilt, and the struggle to find hope in the face of devastation. The survivors - a mother, father, and daughter - must come to terms with their new reality. Chara bears physical scars from her ordeal, while Tasso is frozen in grief over his family's fate. Irini grapples with feelings of guilt and responsibility for the events that led to the fire. As they navigate their new lives, green shoots of hope begin to emerge from the ruins. This powerful story explores the human cost of tragedy and the resilience of the human spirit.
