Antonis always goes by train. He is in a rush to make it on time. His recent past keeps catching up on him. Reality does not allow him to escape the images. That's how it is. because that's how it goes. He couldn't give a damn about anything. He needs to pee. Dependent on his girlfriend just as he's on himself. He doesn't owe anything to anybody.

However, when an unpleasant event forces Odysseasto return to Serres, everything begins to change.

Having Chrysa by his side and Stamatina, Nancy and Thomas opposite him, Odysseas will help his father get back on his feet. Through moments of emotion and laughter, Odysseas and Lefteris will truly get to know each other, will love each other from the beginning and will reconcile with their differences, but also with loss.

Petros is a gay 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 by 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?
