Phaedra, a struggling sponge diver from the picturesque island of Hydra, stumbles upon a stunning ancient statue depicting a boy riding a dolphin, rumored to possess wish-granting powers.

She hopes to entrust it to anthropologist Jim Calder, who would ensure its rightful return to the Greek government, sparking a conflict between love, greed, and cultural heritage.
