Summer of 1992. With the intricate religious murals of the village's historical, 15th-century Byzantine chapel rapidly deteriorating, the inhabitants of a small community somewhere in the mountainous region of Arcadia, Greece, enlist the help of the renowned iconographer, Theofanis, and his assistant, Theodosis. As their arrival sparks hope in the villagers, many arrive in the church--including the honest apprentice, Anna--to see the duo at work; nevertheless, apart from eating, reposing, and philosophising, Theodosis and Theofanis seem reluctant to get down to business. But, winter is fast approaching. Will they finish the project in time?
