25th August 1957. The island of Spinalonga closes its leper colony.
And a moment of violence has devastating consequences. When time stops dead for Maria Petrakis and her sister, Anna, two families splinter apart and, for the people of Plaka, the closure of Spinalonga is forever coloured with tragedy. In the aftermath, the question of how to resume life looms large.
Stigma and scandal need to be confronted and somehow, for those impacted, a future built from the ruins of the past.
