Magnetic Fields
by Yorgos Goussis
Synopsis
While travelling alone, Elena decides to change course on a whim and finds herself on a ferry to an island. Antonis is on that same ferry, on his way to the island cemetery where he hopes to bury an ossuary box. When his car breaks down, Elena offers him a ride to a hotel and then again, the next day to the cemetery, where they are told the box can’t be left there for bureaucratic reasons. Having enjoyed each other’s company and random banter, they decide to keep wandering around the island in search of a good place to bury the box.
