Drama Film
Plot:
Evros: A river, the border between East and West. On one bank, there is a deadly minefield that a platoon of soldiers, deminers, tries to clear.
Yiannis is one of them. A solitary tamer of evil and a mysterious artist of danger. The mines are right in front of him. He sees them, feels them, almost touches them, but never, ever fears them.
At night, gangs smuggle illegal immigrants across the river, and sometimes the minefield breaks its silence in the darkness.
A young woman, Chryssa, crosses the river with children of the impoverished who come from the East, dreaming of Europe, to provide for herself, her father, and her child.
Guilty in every look, with a sweet and rebellious soul, Chryssa will cross paths with Yiannis, and love will invade their lives, turning it upside down.
