Eleni dreams each night of freedom, beauty and romance, waking up each morning to the American reality of children, husband and restaurant work. Today, however, she awakens to find her dream standing right in front of her: her adolescent love has unexpectedly come to sweep her away. Eleni's dilemma takes us on a journey from Greek Los Angeles to one of the most traditional places in the world, a remote village on the island of Karpathos.  She struggles to find herself amongst the demands of her husband George, her daughter Nikki and her now grown friend Aris.  Eleni's story is intertwined with that of one who has just begun to dream – Sofia's fascination with a young Greek American tourist visiting her Greek island leads her to a place much like Eleni's. Their stories are parallel, yet they remain...a sea apart. A Sea Apart is a story of nostalgia, desire for a past time and place clashing with reality, the forces of the “here” and “now”. Overall the director, Ersi Danou, sketches the state of nostalgia and uprooted ness of one who longs to return to one’s birthplace while leading a double existence.
