Nights of Rain and Stars

One summer. Four strangers. A tragedy that will change their lives…

In a Greek taverna, high over the small village of Aghia Anna, four people meet for the first time: Fiona, an Irish nurse, Thomas, a Californian academic; Elsa, a German television presenter; and David a shy English boy. Along with Andreas, the old man who runs the taverna, they become close to each other after witnessing a tragedy when a pleasure steamer catches fire in the harbour.

With the help of Vonni, a middle-aged Irishwoman who lives in the village and is now a near native, they each find a solution – although not necessarily the one they anticipated…
