About

A couple keep their three children isolated on a fenced estate and teach them a distorted view of the world.

Father (Christos Stergioglou) and Mother (Michele Valley) live with their son (Hristos Passalis) and two daughters (Angeliki Papoulia and Mary Tsoni) on a fenced estate. The children have never left the property and have no contact with the world beyond it. Through homemade audio tapes, the parents give familiar words new meanings, and the siblings grow up with this altered vocabulary. They also believe they have a brother beyond the fence and throw food over it for him. Christina (Anna Kalaitzidou), an employee at the father's factory, is paid to come to the house and have sex with the son. The family's days are shaped by the parents' discipline and by the children's games.
