Six days in the life of a dysfunctional family, in the middle of an exceptionally hot summer, while the capital is shaken by a series of murders that seem unconnected. Chrysanthi gets off the boat to meet her niece again, who is being raised by her sister on the proceeds of petty thefts, one of which sets off the bloodshed. Kyriakos is trying to finish his theology degree on the edge of alcoholism. Thymios is trying to rebuild his career as a musician and win back his child. In the middle of it all is Donald, a boy trying to survive while the objects around him grow sharper and sharper.
