As soon as the summer is over and the cicadas turn silent, Niki is going to France for documentary film studies. She therefore buys a video camera and together with her boyfriend they film moments from their summer holidays in Peloponnese, which might be their last. "The Cicadas" is a Kavafian tombstone poem that presents love through the perspective of death and death through the perspective of love. Summer begins with their love song and ends with their deathly silence.
