Characters’ key (the colour squares inform the audience of each characters’ typical colour in the subtitles):
MARIANNE (Stefania Goulioti) - White
Marian is a successful Greek-French fashion photographer, a woman who outwardly exudes confidence and control, but inwardly is in constant conflict. Restless, contradictory, and unpredictable, she seems unable to find her place in her marriage, in motherhood, or even in her own success. Her relationships are strained by her intensity and instability, while she herself struggles with fears she cannot name. Even her relationship with her husband, Andreas, is deeply contradictory, as she leaves him no room to help her—as if she were simultaneously asking him to leave and not to abandon her. Nor can her father, Giannos, the editor-in-chief of a major newspaper, or does he want to “sugarcoat” her problem… Perhaps because in Marianne he sees the depressed and prematurely lost French woman he once married—her mother. The truth is that Marianne had already lost her way long before she stepped into the river…
ANDREAS (Christos Loulis) - Cyan
Andreas is a self-made and acclaimed advertising agency executive, with a keen creative intellect and a seemingly calm demeanor that, however, conceals a deeply vulnerable man. His professional career has been closely tied to his love for Marianne, a relationship that gave him the drive to believe in himself and take risks. But when his personal life begins to unravel, his equilibrium is shaken, and his decisions become increasingly uncertain. He tries everything he can to keep his family together and protect his daughter, struggling with the fear of loss and the feeling that he is losing control. Anxiety, pressure, and emotional turmoil lead him to make mistakes that don’t fit the image of a strong and successful man. As he watches Marianne lose her bearings, he begins to lose himself as well, as if they are both being swept along on a journey with no fixed point of reference.
EIRINI (Anna Kalaitzidou) - White/Green
Eirini had been “in love” with her older brother since she was a baby. He was her role model and her ultimate point of reference. When her father passed away, Andreas became an unofficial guardian for her. She idolized his abilities, but at the same time she built an invisible protective shield around him—not only out of a sense of responsibility, but because she couldn’t bear the thought that one day Andreas would be gone.
She got married before he did, but her own marriage lasted only two years. In contrast, Andreas’s marriage indelibly changed her own life. The “masculine” figure in the family was no longer alone, and this overturned the role she had known until then.
To Eirini, Marianne was the intruder. The woman who, in her eyes, could never truly understand Andreas or take care of him as she should…
GIANNOS (Themis Panou) - Green
At thirty, Giannos was already an editor-in-chief when he met Anna, a French employee at the press office of the French embassy. He fell in love with her as if she were a trophy of the Western world he wanted to conquer. Two years later, their only daughter, Marianne, was born, and at forty, Yiannos took the big leap by founding his own newspaper. His constant traveling and relentless workaholism began to tear his marriage apart. Anna couldn’t bear living with a husband who was constantly away. Her mental health was severely shaken: as Yiannos climbed the career ladder, she sank into darkness. Her suicide came as a nightmarish shock at the height of his career. Marianne grew up as “the crazy woman’s daughter,” learning to live with that burden. Giannos never remarried and tried to give her everything. He couldn’t bear to see her vulnerable—not out of cruelty, but out of fear. He didn’t know how to embrace her weaknesses and believed that if he indulged them, they would grow worse. Without meaning to, he made Marianne feel lonelier, more inadequate, and more deeply trapped in her role as the orphaned daughter of the madwoman…
SOFIA & LAZAROS (Kitty Paitatzogloy, Fidel Talampoukas) - Yellow & Green respectively
Both Sofia and Lazaros have carried the burden of their parents’ absence from a very early age. Lazaros lost his father at a young age, while Sofia learned to fend for herself, with parents who were constantly away because of work. Both were forced to grow up too soon and learn to survive without expecting help from anyone. Sophia, growing up like a wild child, took on the role of mother to her younger brother at the age of thirteen, while Lazaros became the “father” of the family from a young age. What they had in common: a childhood altered before it was even over. Sofia found in the river a counterbalance to the violence of her premature maturation. There she learned the true boundaries—not the ones she crossed to endure life, but those that brought her back to the essence of things. Little by little, she became “the river girl,” a place where she could return and reclaim the lost piece of her childhood. For Lazaros, who had flirted with adventure since he was a child, the river became a new framework for existence: a realm where nature set non-negotiable rules without depriving him of his freedom. There he found his greatest limit and his teacher. And through Sophia, he ceased to feel like an orphan.
STATHIS (Alexandros Mavropoulos) - Cyan
His father, a career military officer stationed in Tripoli and a sports enthusiast, would take Stathis on excursions and outings into nature from a young age. Later, his cousin, Sofia, also joined them on these outings. This is how he became familiar with nature and physical activity at an early age—elements that shaped his choices. For years, Sofia was like a sister to him. His younger sister had died of leukemia at the age of eight, an event that deeply affected him and his family. During his teenage years, Stathis often carried a quiet melancholy. Although he was sociable and athletic, he sometimes chose solitude, without cutting himself off from others. He played soccer, had friends, but also knew how to be alone with himself. His mother was worried, but his father believed that “everyone has their own way.” He didn’t pursue a military career, as the routine didn’t suit him. He became a firefighter, seeking action and the opportunity to help people in times of need. His bravery and self-sacrifice set him apart. For him, every rescue was a battle that had to be won—perhaps because, deep down, he was still trying to save the sister he had lost.
MINAS (Stelios Xanthoudakis) - White
Minas grew up in Megalopoli with a father who was a police officer—and later a commander—and a mother who was a teacher. He never remembered her being truly happy with her husband. Her silent depression left a mark on him. He adored her, even as he drifted further and further away from his father. When his father saw that he preferred his mother’s company to that of his friends, he called him gay. The word shook him to his core and planted a permanent doubt within him: about who he really was and whether his choices were truly his own. He followed in his father’s professional footsteps, yet carried his mother’s spirit with him. He wasn’t cut out to be a typical police officer. He dreamed of becoming an investigator and solving mysteries. He thought about leaving to study criminology, but something always pulled him back. His inability to find himself tormented him for years. Until one night, while watching a police show with his daughters, he heard them say, “Dad, that cop is awesome.” Something inside him snapped. He got in the car and drove up the mountain, past the river. Dawn broke inside the car, with the rain falling. When he opened his eyes, the world looked different: as if it were finally giving him the right to choose. Then the phone rang. People missing in the river…
ANNA (Marina Kordatou) - Yellow
Anna is the daughter of Andreas and Marianne.
