SYNOPSIS
Jay wakes up in Manila, yet he dreamed of Athens. He has a nightmare with a special quest: to save his two daughters from a special surgery: their houses are on them, and they need to be removed. He roams around Athens’ cityscape, seeing things under a very different light, while he narrates his dream to his wife.
