REST IN GREECE

David, an author in his mid-30s, travels to the Greek island of Tinos with his wife Nina to the seclusion of a rented beach house in the off-season.

One night on the couch for Margarita soon turns into many as the freshly formed trio grows together. But when Margarita disappears, the young couple will have to face the unexpected consequences of their relations…
