Yannis, Christos and Lucas, three distinctive personalities between the ages of 40 and 60, are roommates in a controlled housing until in Amfissa, a city with a rich historical past that reaches all the way back to the very first Hellenes, the Locrians. Mentally disabled, they are under the direct supervision of the Society of Social Psychiatry and Mental Health, but they manage household issues on their own, which allows them the freedom to develop their own personal and professional lives.

Constantly interacting with each other, their therapists, the other patients and the city of Amfissa - the people, the soil, the olive trees and tall mountains - they have no trouble whatsoever engaging in an audiovisual dialogue with the filmmaker.
