Theopisti, a woman in her late 60s, lives in Thessaloniki, in a patriarchal world that deems her “strange.” Silent, tender, and gentle, she may seem passive, yet within her lies a quiet, inexplicable freedom. She faces social oppression and family expectations without confrontation, but with inner strength. She chooses to live with love, imagination, and simplicity, defying the norms that confine her. Theopisti does not rebel openly; her very existence is the revolution. A poetic film about the silent endurance and unseen beauty of a woman who, though she never raised her voice, felt and loved with her whole being.
