Poulithra is a traditional settlement. It is one of the last remaining tranquil, coastal villages with traditional stone houses.
After a car accident, two teenagers are left stranded in rural Greece. Charlotte has a deep desire to find connection, but hides behind a sullen disposition and her new-found sexual power. Sye, her recent stepbrother, is introverted, hiding behind his camera and caustic wit. As the two wander the dusty roads and staggering beauty of Greece, they come across Benerji, an expatriate American. With no other alternative, they reluctantly accept him as their guide.
The three begin an adventurous journey toward the mystic waters on the sacred Mount Parnonas. Their journey takes them through a landscape both ancient and modern. Events force them to confront the truth of their past and the frightening, beautiful reality of their present.
In September 2008, it was announced that Nolte, Bennett and Jenkins were cast in the film. Filming began in Greece on September 1, 2008.
Kirk Honeycutt of the Associated Press gave the film a negative review and wrote that it “winds up only with strained seriousness.”
