Saria, an island north of Karpathos. Scattered with ancient ruins and remnants of old settlements. Nowadays only wild goats and rare birds of prey live here. But some people still visit.

Every year, on July 27, pilgrims revive the festival of Agios Panteleimon. Minas and Giannis come to open their homes in the now abandoned settlement of Argos. Where they lived their childhood in Sharia. Yannis and Kostas, carpenters, brothers of a large Olympian family, have their beehives on the island. They go back and forth by boat from Diafani, the little port of Olympus. All of them together with the summer tourists meet on this wild and charming island.
