In the 1980s, as caravan tourism gained popularity, hundreds of Cypriot holidaymakers chose to permanently station their caravans along the state-owned coastal areas of the island. Settled on a beach called Spiros on the Mediterranean coast, this tight-knit group, consisting mostly of pensioners, transformed a seaside plot into an improvised beach 'resort,' despite lacking official permission to stay in the area. The film observes inner moments of how summer unfolds into Cyprus's last remaining improvised caravan park.
