Two mothers/wives devise a solution to the downsides of marriage.

Donusa is a small island in the Aegean, visited by the mainline ship once a week. One winter day a young German photographer, Stefan, arrives and soon feels strangely attracted to a local girl called Eleni. The stranger’s presence works as a catalyst shedding light on Donusa’s conventions.

In Occupied Athens, a German woman, the wife of a Greek officer, falls in love with a teenage Jewish ice vendor. Love becomes fate: the woman dies and is reborn, living two lives in a world that is rapidly changing.
