Synopsis

Following Argiro, a bad-ass farmer, and her best friend, Anneta, a manicurist and local “It” girl, who grew up in the same rural village in northern Greece. As Anneta prepares to leave for the city with her lame cop boyfriend, Argiro entices her to embark on one last adventure - a hike to the legendary, mystical bear cave that has fascinated them since childhood.
