TIFF65: World Premiere
Yannis, a lonesome craftsman, finds solace in hunting birds and making handcrafted jewelry. His next door neighbor, Elias, is mistreating his dog. While Elias works late night shifts as security guard, the dog is left out on the terrace, barking and wailing. Yannis is losing sleep. When his estranged mother passes away, his psyche deteriorates. The collision with Elias is inevitable.
