Description
A doctor's life is turned upside down when an overcrowded dinghy capsizes at sea, forcing him to make a desperate choice. He saves one life and condemns another, setting in motion a chain of events that will test his humanity. The survivors eventually find refuge on a tiny Greek island, where they are taken in by the owner of a small travelling circus. As they wait for their ferry, the doctor becomes drawn to the owner's wife, while struggling to connect with her young son, who is fiercely devoted to him. As the days pass, the doctor must confront his own moral ambiguities and the true cost of survival in a desperate bid to find redemption.
