SYNOPSIS

An empty late-night ferry enters the port of Thessaloniki. William disembarks, a young English tourist with a passion for music. In the dark sky above, three stars realign their position, glowing strongly. An eerie sound is heard upon the wind. Behind William, a drunken man begins to walk into the sea. Finding an abandoned hotel, William follows the call of a mysterious song, played by an elderly man, Nikodimos.

Nikodimos heads a group of local musicians who escape their everyday lives by heading the taverna to play. A series of mini earthquakes rock the city. An island rises in the bay, and nightmares plague the locals. When the taverna is attacked, the band makes a discovery – music has an effect on the monsters.

William and the taverna gang join forces with a granny, a bodybuilder, and some local thugs to fight the creatures with a mix of home made weapons and musical instruments.  Heading to the church for a gory show-down with a massive creature the size of a city, the musicians have a last stand to play Nikodimos’ song, and defeat the monster.  

Returning to what is left of their lives and the city – the survivors carry on.  

LOGLINE
