Disgusted with the ways of the world and her cruel family, Aggeliki is what stands between her catatonic older sister Alexandra and their decision to confine her to a public mental institution. However, when the family finally locks Alexandra away in a psychiatric hospital, Aggeliki must summon the courage to rebel and take matters into her own hands. It is a challenging task, but with their freedom already at stake, can Aggeliki defend their fragile independence against those who seek to take it away? Written by Nick Riganas |
