A quest for nothing inevitably leads to everything.

Synopsis

Filmmaker Alina Manolache arrives on an island in Greece with grand plans to film a documentary on Venus de Milo's repatriation, but the project does not materialise. Finding it impossible to accept the new situation, Alina decides to dissect her obsession for work and achievement, through an experiment of doing the exact opposite: nothing. But is there ever nothing? As she meets Mady, a local woman with a very busy family life, the study of nothing turns into a labyrinthine personal journey.
