In the dry and rugged landscapes of the rural and sun-kissed Crete, Ares, an esteemed botanist, and his talented artist companion, Melina, face a pressing crisis in the middle of a long and warm Greek summer. However, an unexpected encounter with a mysteriously captivating elderly hermit at a virgin cobalt-blue beach will gradually unveil a salubrious world hidden in plain sight. Can nature teach the young urbanites a thing or two about its infinite wisdom?
