Overview

The life of Jorg Geissner, a German banker, totally transforms with a visit to Paladiki Island, Greece. A business trip to check on a project called “Galapagos in Greece” by the islanders and for which his bank extended a loan and credit, brought him there. Being a German, he wants to investigate thoroughly, but Panos, a mini-mart owner, and the mayor try their utmost to sabotage him—to camouflage a not-so-good reality. After every single trial resulted in nothing because of the islanders’ secret meddling, Jorg’s trip becomes elongated, like The Odyssey’s, forcing him to contemplate the priorities and responsibilities in life again.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A German banker's loan audit on a Greek island spirals into an extended stay that gently upends his rigid worldview. It's a warm-hearted comedy about learning to let go of control and reconnect with what actually matters.
