61st TIFF: Greek premiere

Jonathan, who has just been released from prison due to lack of incriminating evidence, is determined to make a fresh start. However, even though wholeheartedly abiding by all rules, his kind intentions are put on a strain when a young mother and her daughter move in next door. A humane and multilayered portrait of a tortured man who desperately strives to become the best version of himself and break loose of his somber past.
