What it’s about. The film follows a summer season in the lives of a group of retired Greek men and women who are regular visitors at various Greek spa towns.

Within this listless atmosphere, people feel free to do and say things they would never be allowed in their respective normal social circles. A sense of freedom and lightness is in the air.

This joyful atmosphere often alternates with reflections on the past or on death.
