MOON, 66 QUESTIONS

Artemis is a 23-year-old only child of divorced parents, trying to heal her chronic stress through hypnosis. Her seemingly ordinary life gets interrupted after a late-night call from her mother.
She immediately flies to Athens, along with her dog, Phoebe, because her father, Paris, is hospitalized, after a severe relapse in his autoimmune disease of Multiple Sclerosis. Due to the unavoidability of the situation, she becomes his carer.
In the meantime, accidentally, Phoebe gets pregnant. As the pregnancy proceeds, Artemis’ sense of duty transforms into genuine interest in Paris. Her aim is to find out the psychological reason behind his condition.
Phoebe gives birth. A new reality is also born: Artemis discovers Paris’ secret, long-term relationship with Jacob, the only visiting friend. She now knows for the first time who her father is. Artemis now faces the consequent existential questions that arise: will this discovery be a vehicle towards her own healing?
