This is a three-part story that follows a man with no options who is trying to regain control of his life, a police officer who is concerned because his wife, who had disappeared at sea, has returned and seems to be a completely different person, and a woman who is determined to find a certain man with a special ability who is destined to become a wondrous spiritual leader.

The film marks the fourth participation of a film by George Lanthimos and screenwriter Efthymis Filippou in the competition section of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.
