Against the backdrop of a scorching Athenian July, the borderline pariah, Charis, aka "The Phantom", studies for a degree in Astronomy, holed up in his sanctuary: a room with dark paper pasted on its windows. Then, on a clear night, Charis' dull existence takes on a new meaning, as his powerful telescope spots Stella--the disillusioned suburban housewife living in the flat on the opposite side of the street. Little by little, unprecedented feelings start to take over, as a marvellously unexpected transformation paves the way for the inevitable change only love can bring. Now, as this new and irresistible feeling demands his attention, oddly, a silent longing links Charis and Stella's lives; however, just like a pair of stars that coexist in time and space, they are still so far apart. Will those two ever become one?
