On a hot Athenian July, a reclusive Astronomy student spots a disillusioned woman with his telescope, and his dull existence takes on a new meaning. They coexist in time and space; but, they are so far apart. Will they ever become one?

The story of a young man who every day watches the inhabitants of the apartment across the street. They have a very beautiful daughter, but after a few days he finds himself in love with the mother...—Chris Makrozahopoulos <[email protected]>

Against the backdrop of a scorching Athenian July, the borderline pariah, Charis, aka "The Phantom", studies for a degree in Astronomy, holed up in his sanctuary: a room with dark paper pasted on its windows. Then, on a clear night, Charis' dull existence takes on a new meaning, as his powerful telescope spots Stella--the disillusioned suburban housewife living in the flat on the opposite side of the street. Little by little, unprecedented feelings start to take over, as a marvellously unexpected transformation paves the way for the inevitable change only love can bring. Now, as this new and irresistible feeling demands his attention, oddly, a silent longing links Charis and Stella's lives; however, just like a pair of stars that coexist in time and space, they are still so far apart. Will those two ever become one?—Nick Riganas
