Costas, an uninspired soap opera writer struggling with writer’s block, is under pressure by his producer to deliver new episodes. Having just moved to a flat in an old apartment building, his attention is caught by his mysterious neighbors.

Soon enough he finds himself spying on them, transforming their everyday tragic encounters into a light hearted soap opera, romanticizing what he witnesses for the consumption of a mass audience. As the success of the soap opera grows, so does Costas’ obsession with the family, particularly with Chryso, a young woman who frequently runs away from the family home. Slowly putting the different pieces together, her tragic life story starts to unravel in front of his eyes, an experience that forces Costas to deal with his own long-suppressed demons.
