Synopsis: A man named Ernesto, resident in the Canary Islands, contacts the filmmaker Efthymia Zymvragaki to propose making a film about her life. He explains that in gender violence there are always two parties: that of the victim and that of the aggressor. He confesses to being the aggressor. The Greek director then embarks on a journey, real and cinematic, in which she discovers the hidden corners, the lights and shadows of a character trapped in the cycle of violence, and in the process she realizes that Ernesto is, in reality, , half criminal and half victim, and that her story pushes her to confront her own family history, which she left in her native country two decades ago.
