In a remote mountain town, where adults live a life with secrets and untold desires and teenagers struggle to imagine a future in the big city, high school senior Maria spends her time watching videos for the mysteries of the universe and dreaming of becoming a dancer in the crew of a local pop star. Her starry-eyed plans of leaving her hometown and never returning are put on hold when she gets pregnant by Tasos, her boyfriend who has been working at the only gas station in town for the past ten years.

Maria’s religious mother along with her melancholic father are quick to “embrace” her pregnancy, anticipating she’ll become a happily married teen mom, following the conservative norms of the Greek province. Maria feels suddenly at distance with her girlfriends and classmates too, until Joe, a nonbinary kid from her school, who just arrived from Athens, enters her life and the two of them form a special bond. Through constant twists and adventures, Maria and Joe will embark on a journey that will bring Maria to face her ultimate dilemma: to do what everyone expects of her or overturn everything.
