Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Ten years after the 2004 Olympic Games, a group of boys live among the abandoned sports facilities of the Olympic Village in Athens. The boys stroll among the ruins, setting up games and organizing dog matings to make money. Dimitris and Anna try to escape from the Village and direct themselves towards the tourist hotels of the southern suburbs. As their adventures continue and the two children enter the tourists' lives, Dimitris' desire for acceptance will be tested in a violent way.
