Hypnotherapist Kate lives with her husband, Orla, and their daughter, Athena, while simultaneously maintaining a deeply romantic - and highly secret - relationship with Andreas. As a role model to her daughter, she struggles to navigate her existential quest - a journey filled with body fluids, intimacy, Greek mythology, laughter, madness, and clumsiness. We follow Kate through darkness and sunshine in this erotic, existential modern love story, as she battles society’s norms and dares to redefine the rules of love.

Still images circling around a single character. The film shifts between close-ups of simple, everyday movements, abstract sequences and written text, thus creating a study of love as at-tempts to communicate through the means of the body, the voice, language and sound.

This film is a mediation on a landscape, trying to make some observations on how it shaped what the filmmaker does.
