A native farmer lives and works alone in a farmhouse in the heart of a mountain forest in Northern Greece. For years now, he had been fighting with an expanding industrial Monster digging up the forest, disturbing the lush flora, and threatening his property. Yet, the greatest threat comes with the sudden arrival of his young son, after a twenty-year separation. They turn into enemies under one roof. Father and son confront each other head-on, with nature as their only observer, a showdown that ultimately yields an unexpected redemption for both. A Strand Releasing release

In this witty, windblown modern fable, man, nature and machine get to take turns being the enemy and the savior.”
