Synopsis
Christmas at a degrading suburb. Eighteen years old Grigoris wants to compose a song but can’t really play the piano. He feels suffocated by the people around him. He can only communicate with Anna, who has just moved in the area and loves Christmas trees and trashy pop ballads. Together, they prove that ‘the only thing in the world that matters is favorite songs’.
