Synopsis

Creating a Utopic, self-sufficient community on the edge of the Turkish coast named 'Garp', Yanis is a Greek man who has left his past to create a new life away from the modern world. With time he realises his dream conceals many dark and hidden realities, one of which is the existence of refugees fleeing the Iraq war to reach Greece, which lies only 2 kilometers across the water. One of these refugees is Soraya, a strong-willed Iraqi girl who hides in garp after almost being drowned by Greek Coastguards.

Upon finding Soraya, Yanis realises the true reasons he created Garp, but protecting Soraya also jeopardises Garp's existence. Their challenge teaches them about their respective journeys and the rapidly changing Worlds mysterious connectivity.
