A tomboy rides her motorcycle among real and imagined dangers, to arrive unscathed, but unalterably changed, at the end of summer. The end of innocence has already begun and a new path, dark and hopeful, stands waiting like the ships beyond her window. It will be an act of violence that thrusts the girl into womanhood and leads her to a new life where, not without pain,
everything is possible.

The film won the Prize of the Greek Film Critics Association in Thessaloniki International Film Festival (2001). Sight & Sound magazine has included it in a list with the ‘75 hidden gems’ in the history of world cinema.

The film will be screened with english subtitles.
