Thanos lives a conventional life with his family in a lakeside village in Epirus. One Carnival night, a mysterious dancer wearing a veil will shake up his everyday life. The carnival woman will take him to the "woman of the other shore," the local fairy. His exploration will take him away from his usual activities, which will provoke a reaction from both his immediate family and his wider circle. His only constant ally is Vavo, his grandmother, who is the border between the two worlds: the real and the supernatural. Thanos will follow his path to the end. His understanding of female nature and his search for the "ideal woman" will prove fatal for him.
