Several months from the life of a young man as he explores relations with women.

Michalis wakes up in Leda's bed. It is his first time alone in a woman's apartment, but his bliss is cut short by his eventful acquaintance with Lia. Strange and distant, seemingly weak, she lures Michalis into investing all his desires in her, at a time when life around him seems full of contradictions that keep getting more acute. With a mother who is pregnant at 42, who insists on bringing into the world alone one more child whose father is unknown... With a boss who is both his friend and father, and who has been hard hit by love at 55... Among women who all hide something from him stirring up emotions that could easily be confused with love... Three months in the life of 20 year-old Michalis, small and giant steps towards his coming-of-age.—CL Productions

Twenty-year-old Michalis, a university student working at a garage, has an eventful chance encounter with fragile Lia. But as Michalis finds himself increasingly drawn to the aloof woman, unprecedented feelings and unspoken desires emerge. And, more and more, Michalis struggles to understand love's mysterious ways. To further complicate matters, Eleni, Michalis' pregnant single mother, is determined to raise the fatherless child by herself, and his grizzled boss Antonis has rediscovered passion at the age of 55. And after the following three months, nothing will be the same again.—Nick Riganas
