In a monastery set on the top of sandstone pillars young monk Theodoros and nun Urania find themselves physically drawn to one and other after devoting their lives to the strict rituals and practises of the monasteries. Below them the eternal cycle of farm-life provides a strong contrast to their lives and they are forced to choose between human desire and spiritual devotion

In 1943, 10-year-old-Rozina, from her hiding place (a small apartment in the center of the Thessaloniki) decides to write her diary under the fake name Roula Karakotsou. This was her only escape from the Nazis, as she endured 548 days of nameless existence in silence. The viewer experiences her adven- ture through her childish gaze, her narratives, as long as she is hiddden.
