(2025, USA, Greece, 27')

A visual and sonic poem following the streets of Athens with the ghosts of two recently deceased young people: he, a queer Lebanese translator; she, a half-Irish photographer. They wander the city together, finding solace in the challenging beauty of life and its consequences, while the film reflects on memory, mortality, and the passage between past, present, and future.
