The film is composed of three love stories of different age groups, each telling the love story between three foreigners and two generations of a Greek family. Each story represents a generation of people's knowledge and views on love. The stories exist independently and are connected through the economic crisis in Europe. In the end, the three stories become one story.
The three protagonists facing different love stories are exactly from the same family 55-year-old mother, 40-year-old son and 20-year-old daughter.
Daphne, a girl in her 20s who was going to college, encountered a few gangsters who wanted to rape her one night, and a young man rescued her at a critical juncture. Later, the rescuer Syrian refugee met a girl sitting on a bus on the street, and he got on the bus and returned the girl's mobile phone to her. One come and two, pure love sprouted. However, the boy’s status as a refugee could not be settled at all. The life of hiding in Tibet was normal for boys, and the two did not know where the future was. The date they often go to is the old airport, where many refugees gather, and riots often occur. Anti-fascists violently drive and kill the refugees here. One night, they came again, and the boy and the girl fled in an emergency.
Georges, a 40-year-old middle-aged man, is experiencing a mid-life crisis: he has a relationship with his wife and sleeps in separate rooms all the year round. When his son asks, he can only deceive him. He is under pressure and needs antidepressants. One day when I was drunk in a bar, I met a strange woman, Elise, and they had a one-night stand. After several lingering, Georges found that he was in love with each other. Unexpectedly, the strange woman came from the Swedish airborne company and was the person in charge of the company's major layoffs. On the list of layoffs, there are not only Georges’ good friend Odessa, but also Georges. In order to protect himself, the good friend asked Georges to speak nicely. However, his good friend was fired, and soon afterwards Odessa even committed suicide in despair. The situation became extremely complicated. Elise called the partner to request a reduction in the number of layoffs. The partner remained unmoved and demanded that the goal be resolutely implemented. Elise could only return home by plane, and also took antidepressants. The love lying in front of reality is fragile and vulnerable.
Maria, a 55-year-old housewife, met an old German man in front of a supermarket in Athens, Greece. The old man's name is Sebastian, 65 years old, and a professor of German history. The two began to communicate in unfamiliar languages. They met in the supermarket every week, went shopping together, talked about life, talked with each other, read books together, and gradually developed feelings and attachment to each other.
All three are members of the same family. At a birthday party, when my mother learned of her daughter Daphne's love, she had a fierce argument with her. She advised her daughter not to ruin her life because of a momentary passion. At this time, the daughter said, you are all hypocritical people, I just want to be with him, and asked if my mother was in love?
When his son Georges told his father that he had broken up with his wife and fell in love with another woman, his father persuaded him to face reality, maintain his family, and get rid of the woman immediately after his passion.
Finally, mother Maria and father had a fierce quarrel. The bitter fruit of the anti-fascist seeds planted by the furious father was tasted by his daughter Daphne. During the riots, the anti-fascists who were with his father killed Daphne by mistake. By this accident, mother Maria also missed the agreed plan with Sebastian.
A year later, the Syrian refugees successfully went to Canada. Elise saw Georges at the airport and chose to pass by. Maria and Sebastian met in the street.
The three loves represent the three generations of old, middle and young people. The same thing is that they all met a lover from a foreign land, two hearts from different countries, but walked together because of love; the difference is that love is facing When reality hinders, choose different results.
