Clara, a Georgian model based in Los Angeles has a job in Greece and takes her girlfriend Ella along for an island holiday.
Altin, Veton and Eddy are young Albanian illegals, part of a shadow society of laborers living in an abandoned seaside hotel.
Clara and Ella explore the site when an accident occurs. The Albanians don’t speak a word of English. Different worlds collide and misunderstandings lead to the situation spiraling into violence and revenge.
Exposing the plight of a social group fundamental to the Greek economy, the story highlights the consequences of fear, prejudice and exploitation.
