Γυναίκες Θάλασσες
“An old legend says women are like seas”
Chios 1979. Thalia Melissinou, a poor girl, is a few months away from bringing her illegitimate child into the world, the fruit of her love with Athenian socialite, Orestis Agorianos. He will never know. She will raise her child with hardships and struggles, but always with a guardian angel by her side.
Nisyros, 2012. Poseidon Melissinos, a successful architect, will meet Aphrodite, a woman intrinsically linked to his past.
Syros, 2013. Prosecutor Argyris Themelis, in love with Katerina who is a married but abused woman, will take it upon himself to shed light on a double crime that happened in Nisyros about a year and half ago…
Three islands, three women, three buried secrets; of love, of hate, and of destiny.
