Synopsis
Aspasia Bogri was a 17-year old senior in high school living a normal life as teenager in Argos, Greece, when on August 12th 2013, she was shot by her father. Aspasia survived her murder but at what cost? Aspasia, a quadriplegic with 99% disability, isn’t able to live the life of a normal young woman. She can’t walk, move, speak. Her existence relies on her mother, Spyridoula, who quit her job to take care of Aspasia day and night. Living in Athens Greece, a country plagued by financial crisis and increased unemployment, Aspasia and her mother try to overcome several obstacles with little or no help from the government. With almost non-existent disability benefits they try to cover the high maintenance disability: 24-7 nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, doctors. Aspasia is improving slowly, with small steps at a time. Spyridoula lives through her memories of the life before. Every moment, she dreams of the day she sees the old Aspasia return, a beautiful teenager dreaming of being a criminologist.
