SYNOPSIS:
The filmmaker and his girlfriend face the news of becoming parents. While the future mother is struggling with no worthy models in her own broken home, the soon-to-be-father must come to terms with his own, long-lost father, now a monk on Mount Athos. The visits to Athos become a way to understand the past and a pursuit to answer questions about the future. The future father must learn to become the father he never had. But as the nine months go by, the quest for reconciliation, the anxiety and the anger seem to be making way for something much more meaningful.
