Ilias arrives on the aforementioned remote island for his late father’s inheritance. “But the longer he is forced to stay on the island, the more his initial indifference begins to fade,” reads a synopsis. “As he interacts with the local community, he uncovers his father’s past and, with it, a portrait of a man which differs significantly from his own memories.”
