Description
A humble postman narrates his humble life in a humble, mountain village in post-WWII Crete. A sensitive observer of the harsh realities of village life, he is hostage to social norms, set-ups, unrequited love, and a marriage replete with secrets and lies – until one day he wakes up and acts, in a dramatic plot twist which skyrockets the narrative to its dazzling, cathartic end.
