Vassilis is in his sixties.As he wanders in the dilapidated house where he was brought up by Kostis-his father's brother-his mind floods with memories of a time long-gone.Early 1950s; tthe aftermath of the Civil War. Vasilli's father, Manos, was still in exile when a Greek-American woman, Pandora, descended on the village unexpectedly. Like her mythological namesake, she too wreaked havoc: Kostis fell in love with her, and in the little village community, which briefly tasted the illusion of change, mores were gradually eroded. When Manos returns from exile, Pandora woos him but he turns her down. Manos senses that Pandora is hiding something. After an accident, which many thought was murder, things take a tragic turn.
