The recently Oscar-winning Jessie Buckley wanders the streets of Athens, encountering the gaze of Charlie Kaufman, and together they converse with the city’s artistic legacy. An existential journey, dedicated to those who, in truth, never truly left, and to the quiet beauty of a life now long past.

Synopsis

Two newly dead young people meet in the streets of Athens, amid the pulsing cityscape and the ghosts of history. One a translator, the other a photographer, they were outsiders in life; in death they struggle with the residue of their longings and mistakes.
