Description

Smaragda, 46, moves into her late mother's house in Ayia Napa, a tourist town in Cyprus, and takes on the care of Bella, her mother's guide dog. Single and professionally stagnant, she grapples with the fear of inheriting her mother's degenerative eye condition while contemplating her legacy. As a former children's TV show host yearning to return to the industry and facing rejection, she explores social media, encountering both fame and backlash. Financially strained, she takes a job as a kids' entertainer at a tourist resort, a far cry from her previous aspirations. Despite the challenges and fears she faces, Smaragda realizes that, with the support of her friends and her own resilience, she can handle whatever life throws at her.
