Vasos was born and has lived for the past 70 years in Glyfada, in the southern suburbs of Athens. His once peaceful life is abruptly shaken when, right outside his door, begins the urban regeneration project of the former Ellinikon International Airport. As the forest that used to reign across his home is transformed into a vast construction site filled with noise, concrete, and dust, Vasos finds himself confronted with the following dilemma: How can he continue living in a place that no longer feels like home ? As the old world fades away and a new one emerges from its ashes, Vasos struggles to find his place between these two realities.
