Alkis and Machi struggle to get by with their eleven-year-old daughter, Lemonia, a very bright but weird kid. She often witnesses her parents fighting. Machi and Alkis are clearly unhappy with each other and have many unresolved issues. During one of their very violent fight, Lemonia appears holding a grenade in her hands. From that moment on, she starts directing their relationship.
"The film develops the irrationality of the script through the gradual development of the family’s story. The point of view is interchangeable between close-up shots of the actors trying to interpret their roles and, at the same time, the characters of the film trying to act the way the little girl imposes them, like actors in search of a new role."
(Dimitris Bitos)
