Three different interviews, three different perspectives on a journey with one common destination: life. True stories about the agony of illness and the mental anguish caused by human loss, on the one hand, and the miracle of organ donation and transplantation, on the other. Sometimes they can bring relief, and sometimes they can bring joy with the promise of a second chance at life. The three stories in the series form part of the Organmeetings information program.
The "Organmeetings" program is part of the Onassis Foundation National Initiative for Organ Donation and Transplantation, which aims to rebuild the transplantation sector and strengthen the culture of organ donation in Greece.
The Onassis National Transplant Centre, which will be delivered to the state in 2024, is the focal point of the National Initiative for Organ Donation and Transplantation. Together with the nearby Onassis Cardiac Surgery Centre, they will be Greece's first fully digital hospitals and two of Europe's first fully digital hospitals.

The series opens with the story of heart transplant recipient Kostas Moiras, his sister Antigone, and their journey from the uncertainty of unexpected illness, organ failure, and the endless wait for a transplant to the relief of a transplant and a second chance at life.
