Promoted to a higher rank, a professor invites his father to travel with him from Athens to Thessaloniki to attend the university's promotion ceremony. The trip provides an opportunity for father and son to sharpen their connection by reliving past experiences and memories. A plot twist toward the end of the film deepens the drama and points to the value of cathartic healing.
