Plot:
Against the backdrop of a scorching mid-August in Athens, three diverse families prepare to leave the bustling capital, in search of a miracle that will change their lives. As summer is coming to an end, this is the last chance to escape, and start anew. Somewhere in the city centre, a vacant three-story apartment building becomes the focal point, where three flats, three parallel stories, and three completely different approaches of life converge into three miracles. Now, Yannis, a seventeen-year-old burglar, becomes an inadvertent catalyst during this national holiday, unearthing the unsuspecting vacationists' dark side, their inner desires, and their unspoken hopes. Will their dreams come true?
