Synopsis
As the winter season begins in Creta, an overly touristic Greek island, a family of locals, owners of a small struggling bed & breakfast, get an unexpected visit from a Norwegian family of tourists looking for a tour into the piratic past of the area. The relationship between Manos, the Greek father and Tassos, his son, is being tested as they are struggling to meet the increasingly challenging demands of the tourists looking to live the authentic pirate experience.
