Mavrina lives on a remote island where she works as a lighthouse keeper. She is very lonely, but one day Mavrina gets a son who fills her life with meaning. The unpredictable fate gives us gifts, but it takes them away just as easily. Our film is about loneliness, love, the vicissitudes of fate and maternal heroism.
