On Clean Monday, the first day of Lent in Greece, Panos, now grown, returns to a childhood ritual—flying a kite with his father. But memories are never simple. Sounds and images, fragments of the past, weave together to reconstruct their bond. An intimate portrait of a fragile father-son relationship and the restless power of memory.
