A young DJ, called Loris and Ritu, a woman who sails around the world on her own, meet in a village on the Mediterranean coast where she’s repairing her boat and he wants to open a club. Loris totally absorbed in the book he’s reading, ‘Zorba the Greek’, and he identifies with the character so much that he actually sees him and talks to him … while Ritu loves meditation and sailing the seas, taking a small statue of the Buddha with her, a statue that has a very precious diamond set into its forehead, a jewel someone is trying to steal …
