Greek youths inherit their parents' chaos in 24 sun-drenched hours of bad decisions.
The film follows the parallel and entwining stories as well as the common fates of some very different young people for 24 hours in the summertime: from the prison to the corridors of the airport and from the Saronikos beaches to the Psiloritis mountain. The common characteristic of the heroes is that they have inherited from their nefarious parents various problems. In spite of the fact that they used to be neutral, due to specials conditions they will be forced to grow up.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Perakis captures a specific post-2004 Greek malaise—Olympic optimism curdled into generational stagnation.
The Saronikos beach scenes were shot during an actual heatwave; crew passed out, actors stayed in character.
