Hypnotherapist Kate lives with her husband, Orla, and their daughter, Athena, while simultaneously maintaining a deeply romantic - and highly secret - relationship with Andreas. As a role model to her daughter, she struggles to navigate her existential quest - a journey filled with body fluids, intimacy, Greek mythology, laughter, madness, and clumsiness. We follow Kate through darkness and sunshine in this erotic, existential modern love story, as she battles society’s norms and dares to redefine the rules of love.
