Synopsis
Fourteen-year-old Yannis lives on a small Greek island that has remained untouched. Since his mother's death, his relationship with fisherman father has become strained. Yannis rescues a young pelican and the bird becomes his friend. During summer, Yannis encounters Angeliki, a seventeen-year-old girl whose carefree, fanciful nature and spontaneity lead him down the paths he has never been before. It is a unique summer, a summer that one remembers for the rest of life. During it, Yannis also discovers the love his father feels for him, a love that he's never known how to express.
