Set in the Greek mountain village of Tirna, Bearcave follows Argyro, a badass farmer, and her best friend Anneta, the village "it" girl and local manicurist. Once Anneta admits that she's pregnant and planning to leave town with her lame cop boyfriend, Argyro challenges Anneta to embark on an adventure to find the mystical bear cave. Before Argyro has a chance to confess her own love, Anneta leaves for her new life in the big city. Argyro is left broken. Meanwhile, in her new home with her clingy mother-in-law, Anneta quickly realizes her destiny lies elsewhere.

A mountain hike, a secret bear, an unexpected betrayal, and a chav party in the woods will forever change Argyro’s relation with her best friend.

One night, when Eva catches sight of the woman who haunts her memory, she follows her to a wellness salon where beauty rituals take on the form of desire and sacrifice.
