About

A twenty-year-old supermarket worker in Athens loses her job just as she discovers she is pregnant, upending her plan to live on her own.

Lena is twenty years old and lives with her family in an Athens neighbourhood. Elina Tsiormpatzi plays her. She works at the local supermarket, while at home the atmosphere is tense. Between the two, she tries to hold on to her plan to move out and live on her own. Then she loses her job, and at the same time she realises she is pregnant. The future she had imagined for herself suddenly looks very different. Amerissa Basta directed the film.
