Stergios celebrates his birthday, in a delirium; shouting at his mother, criss-crossing Thessaloniki, trying to tell his cousin he loves her and then abducting her to a destroyed family cottage. At the same time all the members of his extended family are seen negotiating similar tensions, in the present and in the past, as does the country itself, paralyzed by general strikes and demonstrations. This is a film where all sorts of archives are in trouble. And where kinship and nation are presented not just as reflections of one another; they are also pressure machines, an instant before explosion.
