It's summer, and 11-year-old Iris is running wild through the streets with her older friend Danae when she hears that her estranged father, Aris, is back in town for his own father's funeral. Determined to know him, Iris tracks him down to a dilapidated shipyard, where he's been keeping to himself. What begins as a stubborn attempt to reconnect slowly unfolds into a fragile bond—imperfect, yet poignant.
The film won the World Cinema Dramatic Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival.
