Totally disconnected from his past and his memory, the Passenger tries to define himself confronted by his pre-determined fate, a fate that he has to re-live every anniversary of his death.
Editor and director Kyros Papavassiliou, points out that the film slides through different layers of reality and constantly migrates between the logical and the illogical.
