During her eleventh birthday celebration, Angeliki commits suicide by
jumping off her balcony with a smile on her face. Her family – her
mother, grandfather, grandmother, brother and sister – try to show the
world a picture of a dignified loss. They claim that this was an
accident. Social services get involved in the investigation.
Using a precisely organized narrative, the director gradually reveals
a balance of power and family history, creating an anxious world in
which nothing is the way it seems. Using cinematographic means, Avranas
is trying to reveal the true nature of violence and a relationship
between a victim and an abuser.
