[Diana] You could help me, you
know?
One month
and you've already lost it.
A guy could take that
personally.
[exhales]
-Where did I put it?
-[ship honking horn]
Oh, shit.
Five minutes
until we're in port.
[slaps]
Felix!
I'm just making you aware!
It's so annoying.
Where is it?
Oh!
[Felix mimics ghost noises]
[Felix laughs]
It was supposed to be
until death do us part.
But she lost the ring.
[laughing]
I'm not getting out of here
till you come and join me.
[exhales]
I can sense your anger
from here.
-[Diana exhales]
-[Felix] Please.
Hello.
Uh, eyelash.
-Make a wish.
-Oh, Felix.
No, please.
Come on, come on. Trust me.
Please, close your eyes.
Make a wish.
[Diana] Mm...
[blows]
I hate you.
I love you.
You dropped it behind the bed...
[whispers] I ate the world to
find you.
[kisses]
[speaks Greek]
Mm-hmm.
[both speaking Greek]
-There, I got it.
-You're getting better.
[both chuckle]
[knocking on door]
-Uh, come in!
-I'm not packed yet.
-No, it doesn't--
-I'm not packed yet.
Come in, come in!
Oh, save me! Save me! Save me!
This woman, she's--
she's trying to kiss me
and take all my clothes off!
[knocks]
[Porter] Hello?
[porter] Bags?
-Yeah.
-[porter] Just this one?
Yes.
I'll take that.

Everything
That could have been
[Diana on tape] God, Felix.
[Felix on taps] No, no.
It sounded beautiful.
[Diana on taps]
Are you going to sing?
[Felix laughs] No one wants to
hear me sing.
Look, I can tell them
if you're on a roll.
[Diana on tape]
No, I need to fix it.
It sounds like shit really.
[Felix on tape]
No, no, no, you shouldn't
talk yourself down.
[Diana on tape] No, no. Ugh!
[Diana on tape] L-- listen.
You should give this time, D.
You're really good.
Hey, D.

[player rewinds]
[Felix on tape]
Look, I can tell them
we're running late

[Diana on tape]
No, I need to fix it.

[Felix on tape]
No, no, no you shouldn't
talk yourself down.
[Diana on tape] No, no. Ugh!
[Felix on tape]

Hey, D.

Sorry. Uh, Fenia, right?
I-- I wrote you earlier
that I was...
Your letter.
I didn't know it was you.
Come in.
Thank you.
[door clicks open]
It's better you wait here.
You remember Spiros, my husband?
Yes.
[]
[pills rattle]
[Diana] Um, let me help you with
that.
-Here you g--

[footsteps reaching]
[Fenia speaks Greek]
[Diana whimpers]
[groans]
[Fenia] Ela.
[sighs]
[Fenia] Your room is upstairs.
Come with me.
-Same as last time.
-[footsteps]
You can have a different room
if you like.
They are all empty.
No, I'd like this--
I'd like the same room, please.
[door opens, creaks]
Your husband is not with you?
No, not this time.
Enjoy your stay.
Thank you.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Who are you?
Shh.
How did you get in here?
Through the door.
The locks are...
Okay, you live next door.
Shh, shh.
[whispers] Why are we
whispering?
Yiayia doesn't know I'm here.
Fenia?
I'm not supposed to talk to you.
Why not?
Did I meet you last year?
No, I was away.
I'm going to be a ballet dancer
in London.
That's where you're from, right?
London?
Yes, it is.
You don't look like London.
Well, I am London. [laughs]
I'll show you my dancing.
Watch this.
-[thuds]
-Oh! Oh, my God.
Oh, my. Um, are you okay?
Um, wait for me downstairs
and I'll see you, okay?
[Fenia] Aki. Who is there?
[Diana] Aki?
-I'm not a girly dancer.
-[Fenia] Aki!
I'm going to be like Nureyev.
A rebel.
A super fast train.
No, don't touch that!
No.
No, no.
No, no, no, don't touch
this ever, please.
I'm sorry.
I'm Diana.
I know.
I know everyone in the village.
[Fenia] Aki! [speaking Greek]
You're more pretty
than your picture.

Yes.
Erika.
I'm Diana.
[birds chirping]
We have the taverna
at the beach.
You should come.
[Erika speaks Greek]

[scooter whirring]
[Felix] Slower on the throttle.
Felix, am I driving
or are you driving?
[Felix laughs]
[Diana] I've got this.
I've got it.
[Felix laughs] Fine.
[Diana] I've got it.
[Felix chuckling]
I've got this. I've got this.
I'm driving!
I know you are!
Just don't drive off the edge.
[laughs]
Okay, don't distract me.
[clunking]
[Felix] Oh, there we go.
Easy.
[birds chirping]
[Felix] We should see a clearing
and then a dirt path.
But it doesn't look right.
[Diana] All of this is a dirt
path.
[grass rustling]
[panting]
Felix, only you would trust
a man in a snakeskin bandana.
As a retired pirate?
[both chuckle]
In my defence, he seemed
like he knew the area.
Oh, all right then.
Do you remember that time
in Brighton?
[chuckles]
That.
That was the creative route.
-That creative route took us
three hours.
-[light smack]
Maybe I just wanted to spend
three more hours with you.
-Hmm.
-[kisses]
[chuckles]
After you, captain.
Okay, all right.
[rustles]
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
This way.
Mm-mm.
[grass crunching]
[Felix chuckles]
Just you trusting
your instinct again.
[laughs]
[]
[grass rustling]
[Felix] This is it.

[]
[door opens, creaks]
[fire crackling]
[Felix] Wow!
D, you've got to come up here.
Oh, look at this.
Ooh!
Oh, my God.
Felix, this is beautiful.
Hmm.
[scraping]
[chuckles]
-[Diana] Oh. Better.
-[patting]
[Diana] Hey!
[Felix] The evil eye.
Local version.
[Diana] Like nazar.
You know, the black anklet
I used to wear?
Ah.
All-- all my baby pictures
have this really strange
black dot on my face.
My parents aren't superstitious,
but I swear
they became more Indian
when they moved to England.
I think it-- I think it just
happens.
They'll soften up.
You said that about the wedding.
[Felix] You'd be amazed
what people can get over.
I'll meet them eventually.
[birds chirping]
I just wish they knew you.
My Felix.
[exhales]
This was my yiayia's
favourite spot.
Up here all your problems
don't matter.
And then she'd tell me off.
I was always hiding,
driving her mad.
[laughs]
[shouts in Greek]
Felix!
I miss her so much.
I wish you'd met my yiayia.
She was almost as stubborn
as you.
[chuckles]
You okay?
Yes, just, hearing you...
Family is such
a beautiful thing.
-[birds chirping]
-[waves lapping]
I suppose I'm just upset
our kids will never know theirs.
Our kids?
I'm sorry, but d--
do you want kids now?
Felix, of course I want kids.
I would have kids with you
right now.
It's just that we can't do
everything without my parents.
That's just not right.
If I'm not good enough for them,
who says our kids would be?
Felix, please stop.
I can't do this right now.
After eight years together.
Only two years
that they knew about.
I'm sorry,
and that makes it better?
No, I'm-- I'm sorry,
but it is not a crime
to want a family
with the woman I love.
Felix, I don't know
what I'm supposed to do.
It's a lot for me to handle--
Us! For us to handle.
I'll drop it.
Promise?
Promise.
[speaks Greek]
[sniffles]

[kisses]

-[kisses]
You ate the world to find me.
Then find me!
[Koraki] Ey! I need your help.
It won't take long.
[grass rustling]
Over here.
[lamb bleating]
Pick him up.
[lamb bleating]
-[Koraki] Steady.
-[lamb bleating]
Head down.
Head-- head down.

The ashes.
You don't have to throw them.
Excuse me?
I mean, you can have him back
if you want it enough.
[chuckles]
I'm-- I'm sorry.
I-- I think I need to leave.
The Eye pulled him down.
-But the Eye can bring him back.
-[blood dripping]
All you have to do is
what was done to him.
Wh-- What was done to him?
[Koraki] You think you know so
much.
Think why you are here.
A small village
on a small island
and you come when the clouds
cover the sun.
The darkness of the island
brought you back.
Not the light.
No, no, no.
No.
[bottle clinking]
No, no. No.

Look, I can tell them
we're running late
if you're on a roll.
[Diana on tape]
No, I need to fix it.
It sounds like shit really.
[Felix on tape]
No, no, no you shouldn't talk
yourself down.
[Diana on tape] No, no. Ugh!
[Felix on tape] L-- listen.
You should give this time, D.
You're really good.
Hey, D.
[Diana on tape] Yeah.

[clicks button]
[static]
-[Felix on tape] Hi.
-[clicks button]
[sighs]
[Felix on tape] I know I'm an
idiot.
And I'm also fully aware
that I'm apologising
on a tape recorder.
Your tape recorder,
which you said never,
under any circumstances,
touch unless there is a fire
and I need to take it outside.
So, um, there was a fire,
but you were the fire and you
were shouting at me,
[Felix laughing] and I didn't
know what to do.
So I grabbed this because I
just wanted to scream and shout
"I love you" insanely loud.
I know you're probably
sitting on the stairs
downstairs sulking right now.
Um, I would offer you
a cup of tea,
-but you might throw at me.
-[Diana sobbing]
Understandably.
For the record, when we're 80,
we're not gonna remember
any of this.
You'll forget all the stupid
things I said and done.
So this is a nice reminder.
If I remember anything,
and to be fair,
I might not at 80,
but if I do remember one thing,
number one is your red bra
that you won't throw away,
it makes your boobs
look like cones.
Two, how cold your nose
was this morning
when you kissed me.
And, um,
I'll definitely remember
how fiercely you argue
when you think you are right.
[]
Oh, oh, there you are.
Um, let's see if you find this.

[Felix speaks Greek]
[man speaks Greek]
[speaks Greek]
Too busy.
No, no, no, no rush for you.
This table is free.
I will clean it
and then you will see.
-You're welcome.
-[gravel crunching]
Thank you.
-[laughs]
-[patting]
-You're good.
-Shh.
-[Spiros]
-[speaks Greek]
[Felix] Isn't him.
[Diana] It is him.
I'm sure of it.
[speaks Greek]
Show me that again.
[man laughing in background]
Look at the nose.
It's him. Look at that nose.
It's a very common nose.
[sighs] You have to say
something, Felix.
What do you suggest?
Oh, hello, stranger.
I think my gran shagged you
back in the day.
[chuckles]
Exactly that.
It's romantic and it's kind of
sexy.
It's creepy.
How are you gonna connect
your Greek blood
if you don't find the people
who knew your yiayia?
[fake accent] Well, I'm-- I'm
eating the food and speaking the
language.
[chuckles]
Just because you speak
in an accent,
it doesn't mean you're speaking
the language.
[fake accent] Hey, hey, I just
came here to experience the
place,
not to chase a ghost.
[laughs]
I-- I don't know what that is,
but you need to stop
immediately.
-Okay.
-No.
[Diana] Chicken.
-[birds chirping]
-[restaurant chatter]
[Diana] Why didn't your yiayia
ever come back?
Um, in those days,
when you went, you went.
People get left behind.
[Diana] She didn't say why?
It's part of her past
she locked away.
Well, I was told not to ask.
And yet you brought the picture.
[Felix] Yeah.
A few weeks before she died,
she couldn't stop talking
about this place.
-I think that--
-[Fenia] A photo.
Huh?
-Sorry?
-[Fenia] Photo for my wall.
Sure.
Can we ask you something?
[Fenia speaks Greek]
-Oh!
-[clicks photo]
[squeaking]
[boat engine whirring]
[Erika] She's always fishing
these days.
[footsteps approaching]
She says she goes to think.
But the truth is
she's out there drinking.
She can't even swim.
Aki! [speaks Greek]
[foot falling]
[Erika] Is this your first time
on the island?
[Diana] No, I came here with my
husband.
[Erika] And where is he now?
Um, he, um,
couldn't make it this time.
Um, what is that?
I see that everywhere.
[Erika] In the village, we call
it the Eye without any light.
When things happen
that people can't explain
they like to blame it
on the Eye.
[toy rattling]
People here believe that
if you cover the light,
then one person's fate
can be passed to another.
This is meant to protect us
but over the years,
many bad things
have happened here.
Could it kill someone?
-[toy rattling]
-[waves lapping]
[snickers]
Of course not.
It's not real.
[laughs]
[Erika] My mother put it up.
You know how they are.
Yeah, uh, we have something
like this in India, too.
My mother used to say...
[speaks Hindi]
It means both
the good and the bad
are born from the same place.
[Erika] You know, I believe
that's true.
But you don't believe
in this Eye?
Do you?
What about Georgios Kappas?
[Erika speaks Greek]
Can I get you something else?
He came back.
[Erika] Aki.
George, he runs the store.
He was very ill.
Um, he wouldn't wake up,
like sleeping, like, um...
-Coma?
-[Erika] Yeah, exactly.
He was in a coma and then
one day he just got better.
[Erika] People in the village
say it was the Eye.
But they also gave him
a lot of medicine,
so you know...
He was dead, Mama.
[Erika] It was as if he was
dead, Aki.
[Aki] We went to his funeral.
[Erika speaks Greek]
[Erika chuckles]
Don't listen to him.
I am raising
the village gossip here.
[laughs]
It's-- it's fine.
[]
[Erika] So what are you doing
tomorrow?
I don't really ever have
any plans, so...
[Aki speaks Greek]
[Erika] Panegyri is the festival
we have in the village square.
You'll see most of us
aren't crazy.
[]
[insects chirping]
[]
[scooter whirring]
[hooves clopping]
[Koraki] Come on.
[]
Why did you say it was the Eye?
You haven't answered
my question!
[Koraki] An owl is able to hunt
in complete darkness
because of its acute hearing.
The prey is not sensitive
to these subtle changes
in the air.
It trusts only what it can see
and therefore
does not protect itself.
[sighs]
Break.
[sighs]
[cracking]
[]
[ghostly whispers]
[]
[Koraki] It was put upon him.
[scoffs]
He-- he had a seizure.
You know something wasn't right.
Move the Eye from him
to another.
It's simple.
You kill someone, he returns.
I'm...
Um, I'm sorry.
Kill someone?
Now he has passed already to
death.
You must do it
with your own hands.
No.
No, um, no.
[jar thuds]
[Koraki] If you really listen,
you become the owl,
not the prey.

I can't tell
if they're fucking or arguing.
[chuckles] I vote they're
arguing if they're talking about
us.
[both chuckle]
I can't hear anything.
No more talking.
[Spiros and Fenia arguing in
Greek]
[chuckles]
[whispers] They are talking
about us.
Yeah, I told you.
Wait, no, no, no.
We can't do this.
This isn't right.
We should let them know
that we're here.
Hmm?
-[shouts] Oh, Felix!
-What are you doing?

Oh, my God!
-Felix!
-No! Stop! Stop it!

-Stop it. No, don't! Stop it.

You-- you're gonna get us
kicked out.
Okay?
[laughs]
If-- if I take my hand away,
do you promise not to do
anything embarrassing.
Please?

You coming?
Maybe later.
[]
He likes you.
[Diana] Children like
everything.
And he's such a happy child.
Yeah.
Did you always want kids?
Me? No.
I wanted to become a singer.
I was going to Athens to study,
but then I found out
I was pregnant.
But what you want in life
can change.
Is the father--
Just me.
[]
Well...
he died.
My husband, he-- he died.
What?
Well, it's-- it's--
it's just been really hard to--
to say it out loud.
I am so sorry.
You never met my husband.
[background whistling
and clapping]
Why are you sorry?
Because it's hard to be alone.
[]
[singing in Greek]
[]
[woman] What a miracle, this
boy.
Before he can't walk.
What?
Epilepsia.
The worst there is.
The doctors say close to death.
[]
When was this?
Uh, last year.
No, when did he recover?
When did he get better?
Oh, um, late summer.
August?
Yes!
August 11th,
we hear he's walking again.
remember because it was
my sister's...

It should have been Aki.
You're the one that helped them,
didn't you?
I just carried out her choice.
The boy was sick.
Your husband, a stranger.
She was trying
to save her grandson.
Nobody knew the boy
was about to die.
You said I should kill someone.
I should kill you.
[distant howling]
I'm not the one that hurt you.
[crickets chirping]
Show me what to do.

Once we wake the Eye,
you will have until sundown,
three days from now,
to choose who.
How soon will he come back?
Instantly,
as if he were never gone.
And then, will I remember this?
Yes, though even you will start
to wonder if it was all a dream.
Be careful.
He will take the health of the
one you kill.
Let's begin.

Aki,
the man you said died
in the village...
Giorgios?
Giorgios Kappas.
Will you always tell me
the truth?
[Aki] Always.
You went to his funeral?
Yep.
They could barely fit him
in the...
Coffin.
[Aki] Yes, coffin.
But he came back to life?
Of course.
You can see his shop
in the square is full.
[]
Make a wish.
No, you-- you...
You make-- you make a wish.
Okay.
[blows]
I always dreamed you'd help me.
[photo rustling]
[]
Where did you get this?
I found it.
The Royal Ballet School
in London is the best.
You will tell them about me.
You're 10, Aki.
Okay, I'll tell them.
Promise?
Why-- why don't you show me
that move?

[Aki] Good night, Diana.
Goodnight, Aki.
[Erika] Aki.
[footsteps]
[takes a deep breath]
When he didn't come back
from school, I thought--
You cannot imagine.
I can imagine.
I've lost my husband.
[Erika] It's not the same.
No, it's not the same.
Because you got him back.
Last summer, yes?
Last summer
was my worst nightmare.
I was in that hospital in Athens
every single hour.
I slept by his bed every night
for a month.
You have to realise
it's just me here.
No one else was going to be
there for him.
No one.
You need to leave.
One cigarette, Diana.
That's all it takes.
A person throws one cigarette
out of a moving car
and the whole mountain burns.
They don't look back
so they never know.

Why did you come back?
To scatter my husband's ashes.
Can we please close this window?
[window clicks shut]
[Felix] Bus'll be here soon, D.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Why here?
Because this is
where my Felix died.
[Felix] Are you stealing?
She won't notice.
Put it-- put it back.
She's got so many!
Is that why you shut the window?
So the neighbours won't see?
I've left her money.
Don't you want to have fun
on the way back?
[both giggling]
I can't believe
I've married a thief.
-[kisses] Come on, let's go.

I gave up everything for him.
For us.

I'd already forgotten.
The things I didn't know
I was supposed to remember.
I didn't memorise his face,
I didn't think I needed to.
[shuttering] Oh, shit!
[Spiros speaks Greek]
Great.
We are very sorry
because you go.
Oh.
[both speak Greek]
Oh, y-- your Greek is perfect!
[Fenia] Before you go,
I know your bags are full,
but please, a gift from us.
Oh, that is, um,
that is so considerate.
Thank you so much
for everything.
He had a life filled with love.
That should give you comfort.

Goodbye, blue sea.
Goodbye, warm breeze.
Goodbye, holiday.
We could go to the beach
one last time, you know?
With our cases?
Mm-hmm.

The doctor said that he died
before he had time to drown.

He never had epilepsy.
He didn't even drink coffee.

You would stay
Now there's a precious horse
Runnin' wild, wild, wild
Inside of my mind
Should I put another bullet
In this head
For every little thing
That I thought you said
Everything that
Could have been
Everything it wasn't
Leads me right back
To you instead
Now you're so safe
Inside of a picture frame
I cannot hang you up
On another wall
How do I box you up
And put you aside
Should I just burn this
House down with me inside
Do you wanna
Burn, burn, burn us alive
Should I just
Burn, burn, burn us alive
Do you wanna
Burn, burn, burn us alive
Wish I could hold that fire
With you inside
[]
I would sink
To the deepest of oceans
Just to beg you to stay
Wish I could keep your voice
Clearer, clearer, clearer
Inside of my mind
Don't leave another question
In the air
I don't think I breathe
When you're not here
Everything that it was,
Everything it wasn't
Leads me right back
To you instead
[lyrics in Hindi]
Om, shanti, shanti

Burn, burn, burn us alive

Do you wanna
Burn, burn, burn me alive

they became more Indian

happens.
They'll soften up.

I'm sorry, but d--
do you want kids now?
Felix, of course I want kids.
I would have kids with you
right now.
It's just that we can't do
everything without my parents.
That's just not right.
If I'm not good enough for them,
who says our kids would be?
Felix, please stop.
I can't do this right now.
After eight years together.
Only two years
that they knew about.
I'm sorry,
and that makes it better?
No, I'm-- I'm sorry,
but it is not a crime
to want a family
with the woman I love.
Felix, I don't know

I mean, you can have him back
if you want it enough.
[chuckles]
I'm-- I'm sorry.
I-- I think I need to leave.
The Eye pulled him down.
-But the Eye can bring him back.
-[blood dripping]
All you have to do is
what was done to him.
Wh-- What was done to him?
[Koraki] You think you know so
much.
Think why you are here.
A small village
on a small island
and you come when the clouds
cover the sun.
The darkness of the island
brought you back.
Not the light.
No, no, no.
No.

No one wants to hear me sing.
Look, I can tell them
we're running late
if you're on a roll.
[Diana on tape]
No, I need to fix it.
It sounds like shit really.
[Felix on tape]
No, no, no you shouldn't talk
yourself down.
[Diana on tape] No, no. Ugh!

You should give this time, D.

-[Felix on tape] Hi.
-[clicks button]
[sighs]
[Felix on tape] I know I'm an
idiot.
And I'm also fully aware
that I'm apologising
on a tape recorder.
Your tape recorder,
which you said never,
under any circumstances,
touch unless there is a fire
and I need to take it outside.
So, um, there was a fire,
but you were the fire and you
were shouting at me,
[Felix laughing] and I didn't
know what to do.
So I grabbed this because I
just wanted to scream and shout
"I love you" insanely loud.
I know you're probably
sitting on the stairs
downstairs sulking right now.
Um, I would offer you
a cup of tea,
-but you might throw at me.
-[Diana sobbing]
Understandably.
For the record, when we're 80,
we're not gonna remember
any of this.
You'll forget all the stupid
things I said and done.
So this is a nice reminder.
If I remember anything,
and to be fair,
I might not at 80,
but if I do remember one thing,
number one is your red bra
that you won't throw away,
it makes your boobs
look like cones.
Two, how cold your nose
was this morning
when you kissed me.
And, um,
I'll definitely remember
how fiercely you argue
when you think you are right.

Oh, oh, there you are.

Show me that again.
[man laughing in background]
Look at the nose.
It's him. Look at that nose.
It's a very common nose.
[sighs] You have to say
something, Felix.
What do you suggest?
Oh, hello, stranger.
I think my gran shagged you
back in the day.
[chuckles]
Exactly that.
It's romantic and it's kind of
sexy.
It's creepy.
How are you gonna connect
your Greek blood
if you don't find the people
who knew your yiayia?
[fake accent] Well, I'm-- I'm
eating the food and speaking the
language.
[chuckles]
Just because you speak
in an accent,
it doesn't mean you're speaking
the language.
[fake accent] Hey, hey, I just
came here to experience the
place,
not to chase a ghost.
[laughs]
I-- I don't know what that is,
but you need to stop
immediately.
-Okay.
-No.
[Diana] Chicken.
-[birds chirping]
-[restaurant chatter]
[Diana] Why didn't your yiayia
ever come back?
Um, in those days,
when you went, you went.
People get left behind.
[Diana] She didn't say why?
It's part of her past
she locked away.
Well, I was told not to ask.
And yet you brought the picture.
[Felix] Yeah.
A few weeks before she died,
she couldn't stop talking
about this place.
-I think that--
-[Fenia] A photo.
Huh?
-Sorry?
-[Fenia] Photo for my wall.
Sure.
Can we ask you something?
[Fenia speaks Greek]
-Oh!
-[clicks photo]
[squeaking]
[boat engine whirring]
[Erika] She's always fishing
these days.
[footsteps approaching]
She says she goes to think.
But the truth is
she's out there drinking.
She can't even swim.
Aki! [speaks Greek]
[foot falling]
[Erika] Is this your first time
on the island?
[Diana] No, I came here with my
husband.
[Erika] And where is he now?
Um, he, um,
couldn't make it this time.
Um, what is that?
I see that everywhere.
[Erika] In the village, we call
it the Eye without any light.
When things happen
that people can't explain
they like to blame it
on the Eye.
[toy rattling]
People here believe that
if you cover the light,
then one person's fate
can be passed to another.
This is meant to protect us
but over the years,
many bad things
have happened here.
Could it kill someone?
-[toy rattling]
-[waves lapping]
[snickers]
Of course not.
It's not real.
[laughs]
[Erika] My mother put it up.
You know how they are.
Yeah, uh, we have something
like this in India, too.
My mother used to say...
[speaks Hindi]
It means both
the good and the bad
are born from the same place.
[Erika] You know, I believe
that's true.
But you don't believe
in this Eye?
Do you?
What about Georgios Kappas?
[Erika speaks Greek]
Can I get you something else?
He came back.
[Erika] Aki.
George, he runs the store.
He was very ill.
Um, he wouldn't wake up,
like sleeping, like, um...
-Coma?
-[Erika] Yeah, exactly.
He was in a coma and then
one day he just got better.
[Erika] People in the village
say it was the Eye.
But they also gave him
a lot of medicine,
so you know...
He was dead, Mama.
[Erika] It was as if he was
dead, Aki.
[Aki] We went to his funeral.
[Erika speaks Greek]
[Erika chuckles]
Don't listen to him.
I am raising
the village gossip here.
[laughs]
It's-- it's fine.
[]
[Erika] So what are you doing
tomorrow?
I don't really ever have
any plans, so...
[Aki speaks Greek]
[Erika] Panegyri is the festival
we have in the village square.
You'll see most of us
aren't crazy.
[]
[insects chirping]
[]
[scooter whirring]
[hooves clopping]
[Koraki] Come on.
[]
Why did you say it was the Eye?
You haven't answered
my question!
[Koraki] An owl is able to hunt
in complete darkness
because of its acute hearing.
The prey is not sensitive
to these subtle changes
in the air.
It trusts only what it can see
and therefore
does not protect itself.
[sighs]
Break.
[sighs]
[cracking]
[]
[ghostly whispers]
[]
[Koraki] It was put upon him.
[scoffs]
He-- he had a seizure.
You know something wasn't right.
Move the Eye from him
to another.
It's simple.
You kill someone, he returns.
I'm...
Um, I'm sorry.
Kill someone?
Now he has passed already to
death.
You must do it
with your own hands.
No.
No, um, no.
[jar thuds]
[Koraki] If you really listen,
you become the owl,
not the prey.

Yeah.
Did you always want kids?
Me? No.
I wanted to become a singer.
I was going to Athens to study,
but then I found out
I was pregnant.
But what you want in life
can change.
Is the father--
Just me.
[]
Well...
he died.
My husband, he-- he died.
What?
Well, it's-- it's--
it's just been really hard to--
to say it out loud.
I am so sorry.
You never met my husband.

Why are you sorry?
Because it's hard to be alone.

[woman] What a miracle, this
boy.

What?
Epilepsia.
The worst there is.

When was this?
Uh, last year.
No, when did he recover?
When did he get better?
Oh, um, late summer.
August?

Your husband, a stranger.

to save her grandson.
Nobody knew the boy
was about to die.
You said I should kill someone.
I should kill you.

I'm not the one that hurt you.
[crickets chirping]
Show me what to do.

Once we wake the Eye,
you will have until sundown,
three days from now,
to choose who.
How soon will he come back?
Instantly,
as if he were never gone.
And then, will I remember this?
Yes, though even you will start
to wonder if it was all a dream.
Be careful.
He will take the health of the
one you kill.
Let's begin.

You went to his funeral?
Yep.
They could barely fit him
in the...
Coffin.
[Aki] Yes, coffin.
But he came back to life?
Of course.
You can see his shop
in the square is full.

Make a wish.
No, you-- you...
You make-- you make a wish.
Okay.

I always dreamed you'd help me.

Where did you get this?

from school, I thought--
You cannot imagine.
I can imagine.
I've lost my husband.
[Erika] It's not the same.
No, it's not the same.
Because you got him back.
Last summer, yes?
Last summer
was my worst nightmare.
I was in that hospital in Athens
every single hour.
I slept by his bed every night
for a month.
You have to realise
it's just me here.
No one else was going to be
there for him.
No one.
You need to leave.
One cigarette, Diana.
That's all it takes.
A person throws one cigarette
out of a moving car
and the whole mountain burns.
They don't look back

If you stay here any longer,

Please, not yet.

[weakly] Aki, are you all right?
Are you all right?
Are you all right, Aki?
Your heart stopped
for almost two minutes.
I'm sorry.
Everything is over now.

Bye.

You just left me
In charge of chaos
I really thought
You would stay
Now there's a precious horse
Runnin' wild, wild, wild
Inside of my mind
Should I put another bullet
In this head
For every little thing
That I thought you said
Everything that
Could have been
Everything it wasn't
Leads me right back
To you instead
Now you're so safe
Inside of a picture frame
I cannot hang you up
On another wall
How do I box you up
And put you aside
Should I just burn this
House down with me inside
Do you wanna
Burn, burn, burn us alive
Should I just
Burn, burn, burn us alive
Do you wanna
Burn, burn, burn us alive
Wish I could hold that fire
With you inside
[]
I would sink
To the deepest of oceans
Just to beg you to stay
Wish I could keep your voice
Clearer, clearer, clearer
Inside of my mind
Don't leave another question
In the air
I don't think I breathe
When you're not here
Everything that it was,
Everything it wasn't
Leads me right back
To you instead
[lyrics in Hindi]
Om, shanti, shanti
Om, shanti, shanti
Do you wanna
Burn, burn, burn us alive
Do you wanna
Burn, burn, burn us alive
Do you wanna
Burn, burn, burn us alive
Do you wanna
Burn, burn, burn me alive
