Vasoulla’s life drifts between London and the Cyprus she carries fiercely in her heart. London was meant to be temporary—a brief chapter before returning home but events beyond her control dictated otherwise. Decades later Vasoulla's mind has crossed back to family gatherings, jasmine‑scented evenings, the bustle of Famagusta, and olive picking in her father's village of Kalogrea. Festivals, laughter, love, loss and long‑buried trauma rise and fall in waves. When Vasoulla reveals an unexpected link to Kenya—one that entwines with her carer’s own story— the thread of shared migration and history draws them closer. Each moment pulling her deeper into an inner landscape where joy and sorrow blur.
Andria, increasingly unsettled by her mother’s confusion, searches for answers, suspecting dementia and struggling to be heard. Drawn into Vasoulla’s shifting world, she becomes caught between duty, fear and the weight of the past. Their journey unfolds as a tender, haunting exploration of truth, memory, homeland and the fragile threads of identity.
