Alienated from urban existence and those who love him, land surveyor Eric travels to a remote and unnamed Irish woodland to assess its suitability for a dubious development project. The place seems to be imbued by an intelligence of sorts. A silhouette flits between trees. The place fascinates the fragmenting Eric as much as it disturbs him. Following in the psychonautic footsteps of the mysterious Devoy, Eric attempts to communicate with his surroundings, but risks becoming a prisoner of a place Without Name.

Greece nowadays. Seven different stories about seven different people dealing with the aftermath of the Greek crisis. They have already reached their limits and finally fall apart. Despite coming from very dissimilar backgrounds, they are all simultaneously connected by a common last hope: a phone call to the psychological support center called “life line”. As no one can really help them, they all remain just another facet of the contemporary Greek tragedy.

The film was awarded in multiple festivals, such as the 10th London Greek International Film Festival (Best Concept Award for Fiction Feature), while it also won the Best Director Award at the US Maverick Awards. At the same festival, it was also nominated for Best Film and Best Screenplay.

Oleg is a young gifted paramedic. His wife Katya works as a nurse at the hospital emergency department. She loves Oleg, but is fed up with him caring more about patients than her. She tells him she wants a divorce. The new head of Oleg’s EMA department is a cold-hearted manager who’s got new strict rules to implement. Oleg couldn’t care less about the rules – he’s got lives to save; his attitude gets him in trouble with the new boss. The crisis at work coincides with the personal life crisis. Caught up between their patients, alcohol-fueled off-shifts, and an evolving health care system, Oleg and Katya have to find the binding force that will keep them together.
