Volker can hardly imagine anything nicer than being the father of a daughter. On the other hand, after separating from his wife, he knows far too little about the actual life of 17-year-old Daphne. With the first father-daughter vacation, announced as a trip to Crete's dream beaches, he wants to change that. What the lecturer has considered as an educational program, however, fits little with the interests of the teenager. Clara finds her dad, who talks almost non-stop about the world of the gods, boring to embarrassing. The journey seems to come to a quick, disillusioned end - when Clara meets the handsome bartender Dimitri. An attractive holiday acquaintance is also in the offing with her dad: the attractive Barbara, of all people, is interested in the witty tourist. That could be very nice - if Barbara weren't the fiancée of Manolis, Dimitri's jealous uncle. When he finds out about the flirt, it becomes extremely dangerous for Volker, according to Crete's antiquated and strict code of honour. The expert on ancient drama has to go into hiding - but then suddenly Daphne has disappeared.
