Story
Jon, abandoned at birth in the Greek mountains during a stormy night, grows up without knowing his parents. After a tragic accident lands him in prison on manslaughter charges, he meets Iro, a warden who seems inexplicably drawn to him. She takes care of Jon and records music for him as his eyesight begins to fail. Despite going blind, Jon starts to live life more fully with each loss he suffers. The film hints at a fateful connection between Jon and Iro, possibly echoing the myth of Oedipus.
