Synopsis
Once the heart of an Aegean village, a historic school was shuttered during the educational reforms of the late 1990s and left to decay. Years later, its elderly former students return to the derelict building. Having successfully halted the demolition ordered by authorities, they now struggle to save the school and transform it into a collective space. In these moments, memory, loss, resistance, and hope intertwine.
