In the cellar of a house in a Greek village, an old woman whispers to herself as she weaves on her loom. On the other side of the world, her grandson tries to understand his life as he unravels the family stories passed down to him. He grows up in Australia, with memories that don’t make sense, and journeys back to Greece to visit his family, and to seek out whether the memories reside there in this village where he spent some time as a child.

Along the way, he learns about the politics of life in a dying Greek village, including encounters with an old woman who can put a curse on him, a young cousin who urges him to leave to the big city as he has, a bitter and jealous uncle who refuses to speak to him, and an old man who remembers better days when the village was full of life.
