On a dense summer night, two brothers and their cousin gather to listen to a selection of "Hasiklidika" songs, a genre of Rebetiko music from the early 20th century that celebrates the effects of hashish. As they immerse themselves in the music, themes of love, joy, and sadness emerge. The film connects the counter-culture of the past, shaped by poverty and violence, to contemporary struggles for freedom and political commitment, reflecting the ongoing pains of exile.
