When social roles and values are renegotiated, existential questions arise: Who am I? Who can I be? And what can I do to be a good person?

When a group of refugees appear and ask for help, they become increasingly overwhelmed. The Greek Passion deals with the most important themes of our coexistence: humanity and charity.
