Petros is an archaeologist who experiences the naked Greek paranoia in the center of Athens. Either by choice or coincidence, he comes into contact with people who are “different”: An Arab immigrant, who comes to Greece, a land of “infidels,” determined to conquer it by any means; a Greek-French cello player, who is burdened with the agony of her alcoholic mother; a young Albanian pianist, who carries the curse of his own personal genius and divinity; a Greek immigrant, who was repatriated but now has nowhere to call home; a bank director, who believes everything can be bought, even love; a patrolman, who creates his own version of socio-political reality. Petros’ contact with these people is in fact a traumatic experience. For each encounter, he has to pay a price. Sometimes the price is material, while other times it’s emotional. At times it is both. Will the experience gained make up for the loss?
