Αn illustrated Lesbo-Western

Maria, the timid daughter of a major-general, and high school senior in a Greek provincial town in the late 1980s, is in love with her childhood friend and classmate, the tempestuous Stella. Alarmed by small-town gossip, the major-general hurriedly forces his daughter into an engagement to a trusted subordinate officer. Straight after graduation, he sees that Maria gets married and swiftly sends her off to Athens. Stella, violently separated from her beloved Maria, burns all bridges and escapes to study in the colourful Netherlands. A chance encounter between Maria and Stella seven years later in Amsterdam at the Van Gogh Museum is where our story begins.
