Synopsis
Kyria Eleni does not understand the internet. She understands that her grandson set the phone up so she can send him videos of the grove, and that is the whole of her involvement.
A month later two million strangers are watching her talk to her trees. The film follows the fame through comments, likes and one extremely confused tourist bus, while Eleni carries on doing precisely what she was doing before, at the same hour, in the same cardigan.
