It’s summer, and 11-year-old Iris is run- ning wild through the streets with her older friend Danae when she learns her estranged father, Aris, is back in town for his own father’s funeral. Determined to know him, Iris tracks him down to a dilapidated shipyard, where he’s been keeping to himself. What begins as a stubborn attempt to reconnect slowly unfolds into a fragile bond imperfect, yet poignant.

A profound exercise in observation.

Sara Clements, Next Best Picture

Aristidou has crafted a lowkey drama that still finds a way to pack loads of emotion into its runtime.

Alex Papaioannou, InSession Film

It lingers with the glow of a remembered summer.

Jonathan Moya, The Moya View

I found myself holding my breath more than once.
