Synopsis

Bent on finding their anonymous father, a mythical figure tarnished by uncertainty, innocent eleven-year-old Voula and her wide-eyed five-year-old brother Alexandros summon up the courage to run away from home. As the inexperienced companions embark on a long, peril-laden quest to reunite with the long-lost parent in far-off Germany--against the backdrop of bustling railway stations and the grey, rain-soaked winter landscapes of the harsh Greek province--the face of reality, sometimes heart-warming and sometimes utterly appalling, begins to take shape. Now, on their way to the Promised Land, friendly Orestis seems eager to lend a helping hand and offer shelter; however, can the siblings trust him? But the unprotected travellers are running out of luck and hope. Is this journey to the unknown nothing but a wild goose chase?—Nick Riganas
