Josef and his war correspondent partner Isabel find a naked stranger floating in the pool of their holiday villa. When Isabel unexpectedly invites the stranger to stay – her presence takes root, the gaps between the family members grow and Joe must confront the childhood memories he has locked away for so many years.
Why has the stranger come and is she even real? Set against the dazzling beauty of an Aegean summer, the truth inside this story is that like life – nothing can be expected.
Drawing upon its lush Athenian landscape to dreamlike effect, this transfixing, modern dance interweaving adaptation of Deborah Levy’s novel recalls Luca Guadagnino’s A Bigger Splash and Frank Perry’s The Swimmer, but crafts a distinctly heady, otherworldly identity all of its own.
