This film is the story of the hellish descent of three refugees, members of the Greek minority of Northern Epirus in Albania, "from the snow" to the depths of Omonia Square in Athens. There they will face hunger, the evaporation of the vision, the first symptoms of modern Athenians' latent - but unconfessed - racism. In Albania they were called Greeks. As they contemplate returning to snow, where at least one can hang on to his dreams, they are now Albanians in Greece.
