Overview

Alexis Panas, a brilliant trainee psychiatrist, leads a double life. By day, Alexis handles complex cases for inmates at a mental health clinic. By night, the quiet psychotherapist frequents Athens' seedy gay bars looking for pleasure. As Alexis' complicated existence unfolds, the stories of fellow lost souls depict the city's ugly face and the chronic problem of acceptance and racism that society stubbornly shies away from dealing with. But the closeted psychologist knows he is playing with fire. After all, he is looking for love in all the wrong places. And when a horrible incident leaves him open-mouthed, Alexis will have to choose: live a life in fear or live his life.
