It is 1922, the year of the Asia Minor Catastrophe. Drosos and his sister Areti arrive at the Municipal Theater of Athens that offers accommodation to refugees. “It looks like a doll-house”, says Areti when she sees their new home. However, Areti is not keen on dollhouses so she hides herself inside a trunk until one day she disappears… Drosos makes new friends and they all try to find his sister. But is she a real person, is she alive, or is she his only way to endure pain? The truth will be revealed with the aid of Ariel, the spirit of the Shakespearean play “The Tempest” during an unforgettable performance, which will mark their lives from then on.
