In beautiful, often ocean-filled, sometimes slow-motion cinematography, we follow seven-year-old Luca (Helena Zengel) as she deals with her parents Jimmy (Karsten Antonion Mielke) and Hannah (Artemis Chalkidou) two years after their divorce, as the family travels to Greece to fix up their old soon-to-be-sold vacation home and confront some troublin...
